Do all immigration offices in Hua Hin issue a residency certificate for a driving licence? Anything else required to take with than TM.30 from my hotel, my passport and a photo. I have a 10 year LTR visa which I believe should allow the issuance of a 5-year driver's permit although I am 69 years old. Correct? Many thanks for your help and advice.
Answer summary
To obtain a residency certificate for a driver's license in Hua Hin, you'll need your TM.30 from the hotel, passport with current visa, and a photo. Additionally, a medical certificate is required. With your 10-year LTR visa, you should be eligible for a 5-year driver's permit, but the first license is typically issued for 2 years. Ensure you provide proof of accommodation, and be prepared for potential long waits for appointments.

By the book, you need to have stayed 3 month on a long time visa, to get the residence certicat.

But not all Immigration Officer has read the book lately.

Be aware that there can be a long wait (2-3 month) to get a appointment for the test, at the tourist destinations.

You need a medical certificate. If you are doing motorbike and car then you need one for each

Residence cerificate would need priif of your accomodation. As well as your passport with your current visa.

Online booking platform.

Requirements below.

The DLT opens at 8:30 officially, but the doors open at 8am, you can go in, get your papers, fill out and submit stuff. They’ll start doing work at 8:30 though. Foreigners don’t need to make an appointment or wait up.I followed the listed requirements as outlined on the DLT’s website. To note about the requirements:- If you’re renewing a car and motorbike license at the same time, you only need ONE certificate of residency and medical cert. Make a copy and sign the 2nd one. You’ll need 2 copies of everyone, one for the motorbike and one for the car license.

- Medical cert

- Certificate of residency OR work permit with address on it

- Passport and copy of Data page and visa/extension

- License from your home country and a photocopy of the license

And cash to pay
