When I moved to the Philippines, I got my US license converted after being here only about 60 days. But I am here on an SRRV and, by law, don't need to have the ACR. They didn't care that I had not been there 90 days. At least you have a new facility in Bacolod. You should see (and deal with) the nightmare LTO office in Dumaguete! Last week I got my second renewal and it was for 10 years. No drug test but for renewals only I had to take an online CDE (Continuing Driver Education) written test with a minimum score of 13 correct out of 25 questions. I managed to get through it first time, but the questions are nitpicky (like how high maximum above your dashboard can you mount your cell phone.) But since you do it online at home you can take it again until you pass....or review the Q&A section of the course first. Upon entering, they marked my paperwork as "senior" priority and that notation was promptly and completely ignored by the rest of the staff. Took about 3 hours....P585.00....and they had plastic cards in stock! Amazing!

Great video. Calling this "a really nice house" is a big stretch. It looks like the perfect place to put some money into and have good digs for incredibly cheap. I can see where one could get top value. Thanks for sharing.

in my city in Siberia, the average salary according to Rosstat is 77,000 rubles, which is equivalent to $800, but in reality many work for $300-400, which is 2 times less :) while working as a courier when working 12 hours a day is $1000+ per month

It makes me laugh that foreigners feel that they come here with a wad of cash/redundancy pay and get on by. 50k looks good in the short-term but it won't last long. You need an income, you need savings. I came here with 1M USD. I had already bought a house prior to relocating. Don't date online. Maybe meet someone in person.

“Find a need and fill it “ is the main motto in planning a business.Remember start a business but don’t expect to get rich right away.Do it to get yourself busy and also enjoy and prolong your retirement life.Build your customer base slowly.Also the most important thing to do is familiarize yourself with local laws of the Philippines concerning starting a business as a foreigner.And lastly “location!location!location!To prevent future problems,don’t involve in-laws family members!If you should fail,don’t worry,you can always start a “Mind your own business!”😊

Several questions. Does every city have scooter sellers? Does anyone sell the Spider Style (trike-style) scooters and what is the price and last, do you need a drivers license to drive one in the PH? Am curious, in the event that I ever come there.

@imexpatbill Ай бұрын

First off thanks for viewing, okay here we go, yes there is a scooter seller in just about any city but I have seen only a few that sell trike-style but they are getting more popular, great for short distances. Check out this site: www.zigwheels.ph/new-three-wheelers/best-tricycle for some prices. Yes you will need a drivers license to drive one. Hope this helps.
