TLDR : Answer Summary

To convert an NZ/Australia driving licence to a Thai driving licence, you generally need an international driving licence for conversion. If your licence is from your home country, you will have to retake the driving test. Required documents include a medical certificate and a residence certificate from the Immigration Bureau. The 90-day report is relevant as it may affect your ability to obtain the residence certificate, which is required for the conversion process. Always verify with the local immigration office for specific requirements.

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
