Two questions on getting a Thai driver's license with my IDP.

1st question:

I tried making an appointment with the DLT office online but no luck. So if I walk-in to one of the Bangkok offices (Bangchak or Chatuchak), am I able to get it done the same day (assuming I have all necessary docs), or will I likely get a queue number for a later date/time depending on their availability? I wanted to plan accordingly as some of the documents (residence cert, medical cert) have a 30 days validity.

2nd question:

I have read that you don't need to take the 1 hour video training if you have an IDP unlike a regular driver's license from your home country you are converting from. Is this true?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Just arrived yesterday from the US on 90 day non-O supposed to be for marriage. Bangkok Immigration just stamped it for 90 days to Dec 1st and reason was just Non Imm-O. No marriage or retired. I brought it to her attention and she argued that it would be fine. Can I get this fixed at the Udon Thani Immigration? My Visa application was for visiting Thai family for over 60 days and it states that.

Hi All, need a little help. I am so confused with with all the visa systems, yellow book, Pink ID and the list goes on. But a quick question to start with.

I have a single entry (non-imm O) valid to 11th oct.

I have to leave early but back in 2 weeks. Can I get a RE-entry stamp at BKK when I leave or do I need to apply for a new visa.?

Thank you all and I might have more questions when I’m back in Thailand.

So just got done with the home visit. Everything was fine, or seemed. The one weird thing was that they said when I go get my stamp, the official one. That they will come visit again. I haven't heard of that or on my prior marriage visa they didn't do that. Is this another, different immigration, different policies kind of thing?

From Korat Immigration BTW.

Hello my name is andre, i have been planning on moving to thailand for the past couple years and I think it's finally time to take the leap. Would I be able to take six months to a year of thai language classes out in town underneath the education visa and then leave the school once i'm completed with the program to then attend school at chulalong? Im a veteran and would like to use my gi bill. In my head, i would be underneath a student visa, but they would just have to change the details underneath my file.When it came for immigration. Or would they look at it like i'm applying for a second student visa... And start putting up a fuss and start scrutinizing and asking questions, regardless, they'll ask questions. Does anybody here know anyone or anything about the possibilities of approval for this visa strategy.

Hello, for a retirement non-immigrant O retirement visa can a brokerage account such as a Charles Schwab be used to verify the ฿800,000/US$25,000?
