I’m getting my Thai drivers license and actually want to know all the rules, even if they aren’t followed universally. I have a few pages of these and questions, but I will start here with this page first.

What is “drive either side“ and “end of restriction”?

This being Facebook, I know some of you good people will start arguing with each other. I hold you to high standards, so be funny if you must fight and if you are on the receiving end please don’t get too upset.

I am about to apply for my Thai driving license, my question is do I need a certificate of residence from immigration as it says in the transport office or will my blue book and condo deeds be ok. There was no one available to ask. Thank in advance

Come to the museum, and after showing my Thai Driving licence ( got with my DTV ), I got Thai rate 250 baht instead of 500 for foreigners.

I searched old posts but i couldn’t find a solid post

1. Can i get a thai driving license with dtv ? Whats the high level steps

2. Can i buy a motorcycle with dtv visa, i think yes right & can i cross Cambodia, Laos or Vietnam occasionally and comeback in 30 days time

Sharing as some people said you can’t get it unless you’ve done your first 90 day report.

This is my second visit in Thailand with my DTV, this time I’ve been here for 1 month, obtained my temp resident certificate 3 weeks ago which was needed to apply for this.

Managed to get my Thai Car and Bike licence today converted over from my UK. Note I don’t have a full bike licence for my UK licence but I do have a current CBT certificate which allows me to ride a 125cc where as my UK licence only allows a 50cc, not sure if that made a difference.

Apart from all the required paper work, I had to watch a 1 hour video and answer 4 questions at the end which were also asked during the video randomly.

The physical test if you can call it that was interesting to say the least lol and involved pressing the red/yellow/green button several times when the corresponding traffic light changed, and some make sift accelerate and stop peddles when the light changed on the second test.

Are we able to get Thai driving licence with DTV? Many thanks 🙏🏻

Hello everybody 🤗

I have a question that I haven't seen an answer to, I might have missed it and if so I am sorry in advance ...

Can I get a Thai driving license with a DTV visa?

I had one as a teacher (it expired already), when I had a work permit, but I am not sure it is the same with DTV.

Any advice would help.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Certificate of Residence for a Thai driving license.

My understanding is that you need a Certificate of Residence as part of the documents you submit to get a Thai driving license.

I believe you obtain such a certificate from the Thai immigration. As I live in BKK, I assume I’ll have to deal with the Chang Wattana office.

- First question : Do I need to go there in person with all the required documents ( which I would like to avoid…) or can I send them all the required documents?

I saw some information on internet, regarding the documents you need to apply for this certificate. I’ve pasted the list below.

- Second question: Do I really need all the documents listed below ???

1. Residence Certificate Application Form in Thailand ( This is the TM18 form, isn’t it?)

2. Original passport (as well as a copy of the biodata page, current visa, most recent entry stamp, and TM.6 Card)

3. Receipt of 90-day Report Notification

4. A copy of your Address Notification Receipt (TM.30).

5. A copy of your house lease agreement and rental contract where you stay including:

– A copy of ID/Passport (if a foreigner) of the landlord

– A copy of the house registration book of the landlord

– A copy of the title deed to confirm who is the owner required if the landlord is not a household

6. One passport-size photo (white background taken within 6 months)

- Third question regarding the above item 5: I got the lease agreement, of course, but I don’t have the house registration book of the landlord, nor do I have a copy of the title deed. Do I need these two ?

Thanking you in advance

I have the DTV, and now want the foreigner ID card. Google tells me I need to have a permanent place of residence in order to apply, but I don't yet have that as im just in a 3 months rental at the moment. Does this rule me out from getting the ID?

Do i really need a Thai Driving License if i have an current UK issued valid IDP and a UK license. I'm going for a retirement visa next week.
