What are the steps and documents needed to obtain a Thai driver's license with a DTV?
Has anyone here with a DTV been able to get a Thai driver’s license? If so what did you do , documents needed ?
Answer summary
Many expats have successfully obtained a Thai driver's license while holding a DTV or even other types of visas like tourist visas. Key documents required typically include a residency certificate, a medical certificate, and a copy of your passport. Some users also mentioned that having an international driver's permit and a valid foreign driver's license can ease the process. Additionally, it's noted that you can seek assistance from agencies to expedite the process.

You can get a temporary license but not a 5 year one

Hello,
It is important to know whether you have a driver's license from your country, whether it is in English, and if you also hold an international driver's license. You will also need a residency certificate and a document from a doctor. You will have to visit all the necessary offices and go to the Transportation Office, where you can apply for a driver's license. Alternatively, you can use an agent to obtain it relatively effortlessly. I can recommend the agency M-Thai Visa, M Thai Visa with which I have had very good experience.
