Hey guys, drivers licence question.
Trying to find out how long I can get a licence for if on an education or even marriage visa. I'm hearing there are longer licences now for some.
TLDR : Answer Summary
In Thailand, a first-time driver's license is issued as a temporary license for 2 years, regardless of the visa type held (including education or marriage visas). Upon renewal, individuals can obtain a driver's license valid for 5 years, provided they have legal status. While tourists can receive a 2-year license, a 5-year license is typically granted for those with specific non-immigrant visas, such as a NON-O or B visa. Some exceptions occur, where individuals on tourist visas may also be granted a longer license, though this is less common.
