Hi All. Great group with useful info. I'd appreciate your advice. I am a DTV holder looking to get a driving license. Part of the doc requirements include Residence Certificate. Looking for the easiest and fastest way to get this done for a DTV holder. Please note I have not completed 90 day reporting. Open to paying for a fast-track service. Any thoughts/experiences?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A holder of a DTV visa seeking to obtain a driving license in Thailand needs a Residence Certificate, which can be facilitated through a variety of pathways. If you have a TM30 attached to your passport, obtaining the certificate from the immigration office should be straightforward. If not, enlisting an agent can expedite the process. Some locations, like Phuket, are known to issue these certificates even for tourists, whereas others may require completed 90-day reporting and a medical certificate. There are mixed experiences regarding embassies issuing residency certificates, and some have ceased this service. To bypass the 90-day reporting requirement, working with an agent is a viable option. The recommendation to join local expat groups can provide additional support and information.
