Any one got a trick or a city where the LTO is lenient regarding issuing DL to Americans?

 

Last trip I got thru the medical portion (blood pressure test) and was waiting to get my picture taken and was told since I was only had a 30 day entry they couldn't issue me a Drivers License.   If I had entered with my wife with a BB stamp then they would issue.

 

TIA

Don't know any tricks .. except a "greased palm", but not sure that will go very far.   

 

ACR card, SRRVisa card or like you said the BB stamp.

" In addition, for foreigners, the applicant must have been in the Philippines for at least one (1) month with proof that he/she will stay in the country for at least one (1) year from date of application.   "

Why do you need a Philippines driver license? Foreign driver license is valid in the Philippines for 90 days or possibly 1 year.

90 days. And of course some police and PNP in the province don't know this, but not a worry for me.

 

I don't want to have to carry my passport to : Check into hotels, Show as valid ID for flights, driving my motorbike.
