Does anyone know if the Land Transport Office in Chiang Mai still issues 5 year licenses for DTV holders? I am already on my second 2 year driving license.

I read some reports that they do, but I don't want to fly to Chiang Mai for nothing. Trat DLT does not issue 5 year licenses for DTV holders

Can I use my German-to-Philippine converted driver's license in Phuket, Thailand, even if I’m just a tourist? Aren’t they too strict there?

Also, what do you think is the best place in Phuket that is close to the beaches and peaceful place with good internet near to mall or city?

Does anyone know? Could you suggest a place on Phuket Island, please?

When l applied for a certificate of residence at Division 1 in Bangkok the form asked what it was for giving 4 options driving license for a car or motorbike and to buy or sell a car or a motorbike. I ticked all 4 as l want both licences and to buy a car and a motorbike. I had such a carry on at immigration they went through my 1 year lease contract with a fine toothcombe and after 4 revisits to the desk with corrections l finally got 4 seperate letters of residence but only valid for 30 days each and l was charged 800 thb 200 for each one. My question is: is this normal and is there a certificate of residence that covers your address for the period of the lease that l can get instead of having to apply every 30 days for new ones to cover other purposes?

Would anyone know if one can rent a car and drive in Taiwan for 10 days, with a Thai or Swedish driving licence?

It's been difficult to get official information on this. Any advice or personal experience appreciated.

I was just turned away from immigration for a certificate of residence because my o retirement visa will not be in place till April 15 .

I have a current lease for 6 months and all I need to do is purchase a car and get a license...

Hi everyone,

I went to Taiwan Taipei Thai embassy on Wednesday Dec 17 9am to apply soft power Muay Thai they told me to come bakc at 3 pm and came late so they told me to come back the next day 3pm. They asked me a few questions like how long have you been in Thailand what do you do for work do you have a Thai bank account they asked me when I first came to Thailand 2018 as a tourist in and out and got stuck out when covid happened. Officially moved to Thailand when I opened a business and worked in it because of covid business slowed down a lot amd we shut it down. After shutting it down I did a education visa and tried to apply for,the Thai elite visa but got refused because education visas were frowned upon (a blessing for me I’d say) and the DTV came out applied for it and got approved picked up my passport.

Now I’m having trouble applying for a motorbike license went to 2 places they both refused because I didn’t have a work permit.im under 50 retired. Anyone know a legit place in Bangkok preferably sathon Rama 3 area.

Thank you all in Advance for taking the time to read this.

Successfully got a certificate of residence for driving license. Immig Div 1, Bangkok.

Saw a number of posts about this and sharing the list of requirements. In my case previous 90-day report was not available since I leave every month. So needed to also photocopy evidences from the passport that I never spent more than 90 days in Thailand - so departure and arrival stamps throughout the period.

The TM30 also needs to ideally match your LATEST arrival date. Since I did not know this I had to request from the landlady on the spot and it can only be dated within 24 hours. This was accepted.

Do you have to make an appointment to get a new driving licence on samui, or just turn up?

Changed my address on my driving licence

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

Has anyone by chance tried to renew their 5 yr driving licence yet with the dtv?

Went to dlt yesterday and they said can only renew for a 2 yr licence because only have 6 month stamp in the passport, even though the visa is valid for 5 year!
