Hey, so I'll be going back to UK for around 6 months, maybe upto a year, not sure yet. I have a Philippines driver license but only a provisional in the UK, I left uk before getting my full license. Can I drive for upto a year on the Philippines license? Even though I'm a British national?
I would say yes see this link https://www.startrescue.co.uk/break...on-driving-in-the-uk-with-an-overseas-licence Obtaining car insurance or the use of a hire car might be costly
Not sure what the answer to your question is for sure, but I'm doubtful. Last time I was back in UK couple of years ago with my wife, I rented a hire car. I wanted to add her as a named river but they wouldn't agree based on her having only a File DL.
You can drive in the UK on a Filipino licence for up to 12 months. However as I said in my earlier post you might meet some residence from car hire companies and car insurance companies
