Is a medical certificate required to obtain a motorcycle license in Thailand, and can I apply for a Thai motorcycle license online?

Just go to an RAA outlet and get an International Driver's permit.. its what I did and it's valid for 12 months. You can drive in Thailand and Vietnam. It helps if you have an aussie motorcycle licence, but it's not essential 🙏🏻

I’m Australian living in Thailand, get a international license before you come and once living in Thailand get your licence

Certificate of residence from Immigration 500baht .Medical certificate 50 baht from most doctors clinics then 300baht for car and motorbike licence. 15 minutes in office.

Total cost 850baht 🙏

Yes, a medical certificate is generally required when applying for a motorcycle license in Thailand. This is part of the standard application process, and it helps ensure that drivers are medically fit to operate vehicles.

However, the additional 1000 Baht request seems unusual, as the official fee for a motorcycle license application, including the test, is typically less than that. You may want to verify the legitimacy of the website or office you’re dealing with to ensure you’re not being scammed. It’s a good idea to check with the local Department of Land Transport office or their official website for the correct procedures and fees.

If you’re applying through a third party, double-check their credibility.

Medical certificate is 100 baht

Your grumbling over £23ffs

100% scam mate 👍🏻

If you already have a motorcycle licence in Aus you can apply online for an international drivers permit.

Otherwise if you are getting a Thai license you do it in person there

I paid 50 baht for my medical clearance from a clinic in Thailand. If you ever have doubts or questions, simply ask about it here, or similar expat forums 🙏

Don't pay anymore money, it's a scam !

A lot of Western's think that Thailand is so corrupt they can get a driver's license without actually being present. They certainly don't think it's possible in their country so why are they so willing to think it's ok to skirt the law by paying someone to get the licence for them in Thailand.

I think the poor guy knows by now. Admin to lock?

Get it in Thailand at the local DLT. You will need a TM30 (resident certificate), a 100 baht medical certificate and photo copies of certain pages of your passport.

There are so many scams out there. Please be careful.

🚨 SCAM ALERT 🚨

I had to get a medical to apply and obtain my motorbike driving licence a few years ago, so I went to a doctor in Cha-am and was told by the secretary that then it would cost Bt80, Well that was OK but I never saw the doctor and the doctor's secretary took my passport and wrote a totally Ok medical certificate in one minute and gave it to me, signed on behalf of a Doctor out back busy with patients (too busy to see me). Then to get my license I had to make a donation to the tester's gratitude fund to ensure the license was forthcoming. Without the donation, nothing would have happened...This Is Thailand. TIT. If going to the motor transport place it is best to take an English-speaking Thai girlfriend with you. "Where is a will there is a way"

Ask them how do they insert your photo on the driving licence if you're not there?

They take your photo at the department of land transport at the end of the test.

It costs about ฿100, not thousands.

Come in spinner

I can confirm, all the information on the wiki page is accurate.



If you are converting your Aus licence, you don't need to do the Theory or Practical, only the physical at the DLT office.

- I converted My car licence, need to bring Aus licence + IDP

- Motorbike, I sat & completed the Thai theory test & driving practical exam.

*You do need a residential certificate from Thai Immigration, agents can arrange this often for a fee of 2,000 THB

The medical certificate only costs 150 baht at the most.

You can find doctors who specialise in this service or go visit any doctor.

The ones who specialise, they ask for your height,weight ect & just take your word for it.

Yes you need a medical cert

A medical certificate cost 100 baht for caro or motorbike license

Yes this is a scam. The medical certificate is not, because that is indeed required, but you should know, and it is really surprising that you don't, that a vehicle license requires doing an exam. These scammers are advertising in public (I see them also in my timeline) which means the authorities will see it also and shut them down within due course. Your license, if after fixing all the "problems" by sending more money you even get one, will probably be invalidated then also. You'd be lucky if you'd get away without punishment because your ought to know that this is illegal.

The biggest concern however is not an illegal license. It's that you will hit the roads without being properly qualified. How you think that's gonna go?

The whole license is only about 700 baht if I remember correctly.

It's an agent scam. I am also an Aussie who lives in both countries. Take your Aussie bike license with you and it is very easy to use that to obtain a Thai license with just a simple colour blindness and reflex test in a couple of hours. No agent necessary and very cheap. After first license of a year you then get a 5 license which I have. Car license is separate and just as easy

It’s never ending they just keep asking for more money. Yoh never get the driving licence

Tree

Your being scammed run while you can, before you loose anymore money. This has been in the news and on social media and it's just a big scam

I’ve hired motorcycles here just a copy of my Aus license 250 baht and away you go no medical certificate

You've been scammed !

How did you pay ?

Can you reclaim the money from your Bank or credit card company ?

Definitely a scam

Yes you need medical certificate in Thailand for a license

You've been scammed.

Only the extremely gullible would believe that they could obtain a legal driving licence this way.

Don't send them any more money as you will not see it or them again.

To get a legal driving licence in Thailand you have to go to your local transport office and actually do the tests yourself, you need your passport, valid visa, proof of residency/work permit may suffice if it has your address on it, medical cert (you may need 2 if you want both car and motorbike licence). If you are just convert your home country licence you will need that and an IDP.

Scam

Idk that it's a scam so much as that they're charging you 5x the price for fake medical records...which seems fair for illegal documents imo 😅 Next will come the residency cert... I think the only way to tell if it's an actual scam is after you make a bunch of installments and then they ghost you lol

You can get a international license from RTA In Australia for $42 and can use for 3 months then apply for a Thai license when your there

scam

The scam isn't just the medical certificate, it's the whole thing - to get a license, you need to attend the DLT in person to undertake testing and have your picture taken. And a medical certificate (which is required) is only legally issued when you see a doctor in person.

If you dont have an Aussie motorbike licence you cant just get one online. Think they saw you comming

You got scammed ….

You can’t get a motorcycle licence online in Australia? You have to physically sit a driving test in Australia to get an Australian motorcycle licence

Sounds like a scam...

Online driving license?..

Get an international driving permit from Australia before you travel..(then you are legally allowed to drive)

If you going to be in Thailand long term then sort out the local driving license once you are here..

Yes, you have been scammed

All license renewal and new license require medical cert

Example of scam

Why would you apply online FFS??? Why didn't you do some research.

Yes, a medical certificate is required to get a Thai driver's license. You are being scammed though, as you can not get a legal Thai driver's license online. With these online scams you'll never know it is a fake license until you get stopped by the police, and then you can go to jail, and be deported for using counterfeit documents. Be fully aware of this.

Scammed, say goodbye to your money.

Bike license is 105 baht and medical check 100baht. You can buy online real license.. it's scam

to get a m/c licence from your home country you would have to have passed their M/c test. if you have getting a thai livence is easy. if you havrnt you have to apply for a thai licence which meand a test and paperwork. If you get an IDP and only have driven a car, the IDP wont have a M/c classification and cant be used

Yes you need a medical certificate, which you can get from any medical centre, thing is though your usually checked over by a Dr to get one, costs me usually about 400 baht where I go. I feel robbed now seeing people only paying 100 😂🤣😅 so your defo getting stitched up at a 1000 unless it's a backhander certificate so you don't need go in person or a scam.

If this is for a Thai license you have already been scammed.

A motorbike license costs around 300bt, you will need a medical cert about 100bt, a certificate of residence from immigration, & photocopies of passport etc. You have to do 1 hour online learning which includes a simple test & pass a reaction & colorblindness test.

Its pretty simple & in total will cost you around 500bt.

Please use common sense with these things, could someone else get a license for you in your home country?

Kiss your 2k good-bye. Yes you need a medical... It's between 300 to 500thb takes 5 min.

Sort it with the Land Transport Department when you get here.

Scam

Really? A license online? People are so gullible.

Yes a medical certificate is needed. It costs about 300thb (that’s what I paid) Don’t do it until you get here otherwise it’s probably a scam

I'm not sure what you're asking and where you're getting your licence. But there are many scams that claim to get a Thai licence for you, but just steal your money.

As for a medical certificate, yes you need one to get a Thai drivers licence. There's probably a clinic near the DLT office. I paid 140B for mine and it took under 10mins to get.

Your question doesn't make any sense.

You applied for a motorcycle license online? What? A motorcycle license from Australia? From Thailand? Where are you at? You cannot get a Thai license online. You must go to the DLT office and apply there.

If someone is telling you that you can get a Thai license without going to the DLT then you've just fallen for a very common scam. And you're going to keep getting asked for money until you finally stop sending it.

How do you expect them to do a medical certificate for you when you're not even there? A medical certificate costs 100-200 baht at any clinic in Thailand.

It's a scam. Get your DL in Thailand when you get here.
