Hi, new to Thailand on a retirement visa, can someone explain yellow book and blue book I keep hearing about and what it helps you accomplish, Thanks

Who is the best firm to handle Thai Drivers Liscense for foreigners?

Hello everyone:)

So I have a tourist stamp/visa etc. Previously I made here my temporary DL, now i am back and i try to exchange/extend it to the 5y. I know some places are not giving the 5y, some other they do. I collected all the docus(health and immigration certificate). I would like to know if any of you know the current situation in Ko Samui,Krabi,Phuket. I tried in Surat Thani Town, but they bounced me back with the 2 years etcetc. Thank you

Hi, I'm hoping to get a Thai driver's license. I'm a DTV holder and I live at my wife's condo in BKK. I have a Canadian DL and valid IDP. The specific question I have is regarding the residence certificate - I understand I get this from the immigration office at Chang Wattana. Can I book an on-line appointment time for this? And what specifically do I need to bring? Passport, pictures, TM16 application form, TM30 are straightforward, what I'm not sure about is "proof of residence"). A lot of out-dated and conflicted info on-line......thanks

Out of curiosity, can you get a Thai driver’s license with a tourist visa?

Since I'm here on DTV visa, I'd like to get a driver's license. I have a driver's license from my home with car and motorcycle priviliges already, I also have my international drivers permit. Is there some way to easily get a Thai driver's license? I saw that you have to get a blood test but I hate needles so I'd rather not go throught medical exam if there's some way around it

Hi Peeps, my wife and I (abv 50y/o) just got issued our 90-days Non-O Immigrant Visa from outside of thailand. Once i arrive in BKK and get my visa stamped on my passport, i understand that I can open a bank account which I will do from Bang Saray/Sattahip, since I own a condo there (will bring all my property papers). Will the bank ask for a Thai mobile rgst'd in my name ? What are ALL the docs they need ?

Beside this, does anyone know how to go about obtaining a Retirement Visa while we are in Thailand(without going thru an agent) ? What are the documents and stuff needed to apply for Retirement Visa btw. How much must I deposit into Kasikorn bank ? How many days would the Retirement Visa approval take and must I be staying in Thailand until they issue it ? Also how to obtain a Thai Driver's lic ? I already have my country's one and a valid International Driving Permit. tyvvvm

Quick question - can I use my International Driving Permit (IDP) to apply for a Thai driver’s license and TM30, or do I need to wait until after my first 90-day report?

*I would appreciate advice. I am arriving by air into Bangkok for a 10-day stay in 2025. I will have a visa exemption (60-days). I possess a valid driver’s license (auto) including an international driver’s permit. Will an agency be able to assist obtaining a driver’s license (auto) in Thailand for a foreigner?*

How easy or difficult is it to get a Thai driver's license?
