I have been informed by the visa agent I use, to transfer my US drivers license to Thailand - I need to get a letter from the US Embassy.
Is that true?
Does anybody have experience doing this? How much time does it take? The US embassy is in Bangkok and I am in Pattaya, will I have to travel there to get it? Also what is it, called?
TLDR : Answer Summary
To transfer your US driver's license in Thailand, you generally do not need a letter from the US Embassy. Instead, individuals can obtain a residency certificate directly from the local immigration office, which is sufficient for the process. Some comments suggest that only those without an English-written license require embassy involvement for translation purposes. It is advisable to gather the necessary documents such as the residency certificate, copies of the passport and visa, and possibly a medical clearance, without needing to visit the embassy unless your situation specifically demands it.
