How to convert NZ/Australia driving licence to Thai Driving Licence? Is TM30 and passport stamp enough? Is 90 day report required to get residence certificate?

Thank you
Answer summary
To convert an NZ or Australian driving licence to a Thai driving licence, you generally need an international driving permit or may need to retake the test if converting a local licence. Required documents include a medical certificate and a residence certificate from the Immigration Bureau. A TM30 form and passport stamp are not sufficient alone. If you have already been in Thailand for 90 days, you will need to report for another 90 days before applying for a residence certificate.

If you have an international driving license, you can transfer it to a Thai license.

However, if your license is from your country, you cannot convert it to a Thai license and must retake the test.

And the documents must include a medical certificate and a residence certificate from the Immigration Bureau.

If you've already been there for 90 days, you must report for another 90 days before applying for a residence permit.

Or if you'd like to use an agent, I can help.

Maybe you should Google the department of land transport requirements for getting a license. Typically a doctor's certificate a residence certificate from immigration passport copies your old license blah blah blah, whether or not you can get a residence certificate without doing 90-day report is immigration office specific, check with your local office
