Has anyone managed to get a Thai Driving License or a Pink ID on a DTV ?

Hi. I am in Thailand on my DTV visa. I am getting closer to the time of my 90-day reporting. Furthermore, I have international driving license, but it is valid only for 3 months in Thailand after crossing the border. I was planning do the reporting and converting my license to Thai one and do 90 days, but there came an opportunity for a border bounce.

Here is my question: I will be in Chiang Rai soon. Is it a good option to do a border bounce to “reset” 90-days and driving license? If so: do I just need to exit Thailand and do I have to come into Laos? If so, for how long do I need to enter Laos?

1h drive sounds tempting in comparison to 3 days spent in Thai immigration and other offices ;-)

Hi all, just a heads up for people who may have been thinking like me. Ive just been to immigration to get a certificate of residence so I can buy a car or motorbike and get a thai driving licence, they told me you cannot obtain one on a dtv visa only a non-immigrant visa.

Seems a bit bizarre to me as the dtv virtually allows a stay of 5 years(just leaving the country annually ).

Changed my address on my driving licence

Do I need to change address or renew my international driving permit

Can I apply for a thai driving licence on a DTV? I have an IDP but I gather that I can only use that for 90 days at a time and I plan to be here longer than that. I see one of the requirements for the driving licence is a residency cert, I only have a tm30. Is that acceptable? TIA

Hello all, can you please recommend an agency in Bangkok who can get me my TM30, certificate of residence and Thai driving licence please, many thanks, kind regards, Kay x. Have DTV VISA

Searched everywhere, but still so confusing.

Doing my Thai driving license renewal from 2 to 5 years.

Need residence certificate. Is tm30 enough with 2 photos, and visa

/entry stamps? Do I need a house contract? ( just did in Pattaya for my dad, and those where the only required)

I travel every 3 weeks, so don’t have 90 day report

Do I need to make an appt for license renewal or can I come to DLT directly

Many thanks in advance 🙏🙏🙏

Hi all.

I have an international drivers license and would like to have a Thai license.

Anyone know what is the required paperwork.

Thx in advance.

Just a data point.

I was in the land transport office (Chiang Mai) and they were quite happy to issue a 5 year Thai driving license, providing of course the usual conditions were met (previously holding a 2 year etc) for me as a DTV holder.

Was curious how that would work out as the Elite / Privilage visa often is denied this ability. They also knew about the LTR and said they would allow a 5 year for those also.

I have a passport and car driving license from The Netherlands, and a motorcycle driving license from Colombia.

I would like to get a thai license so I can drive a motor here.

What to do? Where do i go?

I’m in a small town, most lilely will need to take a bus/train/plane for a larger city like chiang mai/bangkok.
