What are the current requirements and processes for obtaining a driver's license in Thailand, particularly for expats?

Hello, Is it now true , you can settle in Thailand on a permanent visa, if you are over 50. Pay Government 20k sterling, as a bond to stay in Country ?

In Pattaya you need to go to the Land Transport Office in Bang Lamung to get your documents checked and make an appointment. They only have 20 foreigners a day and there's usually about a 2 week wait. It's also a good chance to get your docs right if they find there's a problem.

Then you turn up for your appointment with your docs. I didn't have to watch a video, but that sometimes happens. Then you identify the colours red, green and yellow correctly as they change fairly fast. Finally you sit at a very rustic contraption with 2 wooden pedals. You press the right pedal when the lights are green and press the left pedal quickly when the lights turn red.

If you have a licence from your home country (in English) that's it. You queue up to pay, get your picture taken and walk away with your licence. If you don't have your licence or it's not in English, you have to do a practical driving test on a closed road. I heard you drive about 2 minutes then reverse between 2 bollards. And that's it.

Whats your concrete question?

License?

Drivers licence requirements vary based on the DLT office you'll be using, just like most things in Thailand.

Common requirements are a residence certificate from immigration, a health certificate from a doctor, and if you have a foreign license and IDP it will help things along as well.
