How do I convert my Qatar driving license to a Philippine license when go back to the Philippines?

This is a reverse procedure of what Pinoys here usually do, since I did not have a license before back home. But I would like to get one when I go home, do I still need to get a students license before getting the non-pro license?

This is a legitimate question...anybody who says it is dumb or inappropriate are the idiots and ignorant.

i just came from vacation. i went to LTO regarding this one. you just need to present your Qatari License card there and you need to pay some amount and you'll need to undergo drug testing and after that you'll just wait for your Phil license (non pro only) if you'll apply for Porfessional license you'll have to undergo written and actual testing. also you can use your Qatari Drivers License for 3 months but make sure you will bring your passport with you while driving because in case you had an accident you need to present the arrival date if it is still under 3 months and that you are having your vacation there. better yet to apply for RP license so that you wont be worrying about your Qatari Drivers license.

you just need to convert your license. you don't need to get a student's permit first.very easy, just go to land transportation office, bring money for the red tape, after few hours you've got your license.good luck.

for our kababayans, our qatar license is valid for 30 days in philippines as long as you bring your passport with you. FYI.

Mssahmed is right, you should post in a Phil-focused forum. Non-Filipinos will not understand what you mean by your question. But I am Filipino, and i do know what you mean.

Middle East driving license is honored in our country. if you're going there for vacation, you can use Qatar license. but if you're staying in Phils for good, then you must get a student's license for a month, then convert it to non-pro afterwards.

good luck.
