Can I convert my German driver’s license to a Thai license in a different province?

I got a car and bike licence on a tourist visa for 2yrs. Just renewed, for 2yrs on a tourist visa. U need retirement visa or equivalent to renew for 5yrs. Use an agent pay the money alot less hassle

It may be of some help, at least some orientation about converting driving license (that translation mentioned below is done by the agency, no need to do it via embassy yourself):

Here’s the process:

1. Book an Appointment: You’ll need to schedule a visit with us. The process takes about 2 hours, and my staff will meet you directly at the DLT.

2. No Exam Required: There’s no driving test needed, just a physical test for your eyes and reflexes.

Required documents (no copies allowed):

- Passport & Visa

- Original driver’s license from your home country (must be in English or have an official translation certified by your embassy)

- Proof of residence (a certificate from either Thai Immigration or your embassy)

- Medical certificate (we can arrange this near the DLT on the same day)

Anyone knows if the “certificate of residence” can be replaced by a workpermit? As your workpermit is linked to your adress already.

Chiang Mai consulate

Cha-am you can walk in and be out in an hour

It's an embarrassment that to book an appointment in cities takes 3-4 months which I did in Phuket to renew, other option is to pay agent, done within a few days

Based on recent experience - you will need to show your host Country licence (usually in English) and normally an IDP linked to it, Passport, Visa Certificate, Certificate of Residence (show to immigration your Passport, Rental Agreement if Renting, 2 x Passport Photos, Visa Certificate) - if you wish for a car and motorbike licence, you will need a Certificate of Residence for each at 500THB each), Medical Certificate (no longer than 30 days old), and complete the one hour course online (remember to download and take the receipt with you in your smart phone) - the cost is in obtaining the documents, each licence (Car & Motorbike) are 10THB each.

You can do in any province if you got all documents they want. Or use the agent they might have queue for you . And yes you do yourself is cheaper.

My Thai wife didn’t make an appointment to get her driver’s license. I won’t make an appointment when I get my driver’s license. We are in Ratchaburi province.

Find a Thai girl to do it.

You can get a license from any DLT office. Just make sure you have all the paperwork (Certificate of residence, health check, any other items the DLT you will go to requires).
