Two questions on getting a Thai driver's license with my IDP.

1st question:

I tried making an appointment with the DLT office online but no luck. So if I walk-in to one of the Bangkok offices (Bangchak or Chatuchak), am I able to get it done the same day (assuming I have all necessary docs), or will I likely get a queue number for a later date/time depending on their availability? I wanted to plan accordingly as some of the documents (residence cert, medical cert) have a 30 days validity.

2nd question:

I have read that you don't need to take the 1 hour video training if you have an IDP unlike a regular driver's license from your home country you are converting from. Is this true?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Hello and thank you for the quick inclusion in the group. What do you have to do to get a Thai driver's license? I am in possession of a German driver's license. International Driver's Permit is also present. Thanks in advance

How difficult is it to get a Thai drivers license in Thailand? I see all these ads for agents who help with getting the license but I don’t know if I want/or need to pay an agent.

Fyi, I’ll be renting an apt so I’ll have a lease agreement first day outta ASQ.

And before I return back to US i’ll be getting married there.
