Hi everyone,
Heading to Bangkok early december this year with a 30 days tourist visa and want to apply for the temporary motorcycle license.
Any tips on how this procedure works, a lot of different information online and it’s quite confusing…
How and where to apply for certificate of residency? Is this even possible on a tourist visa?
Any steps that can already be done before arrival in order to speed up the process?
Better to apply in Bangkok or Chiang Mai?
Thanks for your help
Best regards
TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the complexities of obtaining a temporary motorcycle license in Thailand while on a tourist visa. A user is seeking advice on the application procedure, specifically regarding the requirement of a certificate of residency. Responses clarify that a tourist visa does not allow for residency certification in Bangkok; however, it may be possible in Chiang Mai for a fee. An international driving permit (IDP) is highly recommended before riding a motorcycle in Thailand, but potential legal issues regarding insurance coverage in case of an accident without a proper license are also emphasized.
