Medic Mike Posted July 19, 2013 Author Posted July 19, 2013 Since I come and go from Cebu each month, is it even worth converting my aussie licence?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Old55 Posted July 19, 2013 Forum Support Posted July 19, 2013 Ask yourself if you actually need to drive or are willing to take the risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do drive while I am there, but can't I just keep using my aussie licence, I never stay longer than 21 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your foreign license is valid it's good for 90 days from date of arrival. I would check to see if your foreign insurance covers you while driving here, probably not, and there are huge liability issues if you have an accident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyke69 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I have found showing people respect gets me farther then getting a attitude ( and I have a good ole USA one) A yes Sir or yes Mam goes a long way. You come back a few days later with lunch or candy they remember you the next time you have go LTO. When I offered the Immigration guy 500 pesos for his help with my I-card he said no..."part of our job sir" I took some KFC and pizzas for lunch a week after...they remember me still....just my view 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GregZ Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Since I come and go from Cebu each month, is it even worth converting my aussie licence?? Only if you want to make new friends at the LTO :540: or plan on getting stopped a lot and think a local license will get you something 'special'. :th_unfair: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
