Quick question

In regards to getting my driver's license if my residence certificate is registered in chonburi but I currently live in rayong province would it still qualify me to be able to get my license done in rayong ? A visa company in pattaya is asking me almost 8k to get my license and do the test in rayong and I feel like I can just do this myself without paying this crazy fee.

All information is appreciated thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
The ability to obtain a driver's license in Rayong with a residence certificate from Chonburi varies by local regulations. Responses indicate that you typically need to present a residence certificate corresponding to the province where you are applying. Some individuals have successfully renewed or obtained licenses in different provinces, but this is often dependent on specific officers and local policies. Obtaining necessary health certifications and arriving early to secure a ticket is also recommended.

The Chonburi residence cert is valid for 30 days, yes you could do it yourself in Chonburi. You'll also need a health cert, watch the video online, and get to the office before 7am to stand a chance of getting a ticket for that day. The agents will be there before 6am to secure the first 30 or so tickets
