If a foreigner continues to drive in the Philippines beyond 90 days without converting their foreign driver’s license to a Philippine license, they are considered driving without a valid license under Philippine law.This can lead to:Traffic violations and being fined by the LTO or police,Vehicle impoundment,Legal issues affecting immigration status,Disqualification from getting a Philippine driver’s license in the future.The 90-day rule is a grace period that allows foreign visitors or temporary residents time to convert their license or decide if they will stay long-term. If they exceed this period without converting their license, they are breaking the law and putting themselves and others at risk.
