Can I change my drivers license in to Thai driver’s license under DTV visa? I have a drivers license from two ASEAN countries. IF yes, do I need International drivers license? Both drivers license are in English.

I have a question about converting my drivers license into a Thai drivers license at DLT? I have all the paperwork done and an appointment set up at DLT. When I go, will they be having me take an additional test aside from the online video that I passed and have a QR code for ? And is there a practical test where I have to either drive or sit in some machine at DLT? I’ve seen posts addressing this but frankly I haven’t really understood them. Do they really make you sit in a box and press the gas pedal and stop pedal or is it more involved? I’ll be going to the DLT in Bangkok. Thanks

Just got my 5 year car and motorcycle Licence hurray! 🚘 🛵 I’m thinking…

Personal tricycle driver's license ใบอนุญาตขับรถยนต์สามล้อส่วนบุคคล

Number seven, tricycle license, commonly known as a TukTuk license. Has anyone ever obtained one of these themselves? What’s the requirements (other than obvious visa/live here stuff)?

Hi there. Today I went to apply for a Thai Driving Licence with my partner in a town near our village in Petchabun. I have been using an Irish licence for a few weeks but wanted to get legal.

I was told I would have to go to the Irish embassy in Bangkok and get it translated into Thai and also get a letter saying it is a real licence.

I have never heard of anyone else wanting a Thai Licence from a Home Licence needing it all translated.

What are your experiences please?

Hi all!

Going for Thai driver's license soon. Got all the documents but was curious about the process on the day of obtaining the license.

I recall seeing a post where someone commented that you could watch a video or do some kind of test (not sure anymore what exactly), to save time on that day.

Did someone recently do this and would like to share more information about this? Sorry, quite vague but cannot recall exactly what it was. :)
