Can I get a Thai Drivers Licence by Presenting My Home Country Licence (car)

I'm ready to do my test for motorbike (no prior motorbike licence), have all the relevant docs to proceed with that - residence certificate, tm30, health certificate.

But I'm thinking I might as well get the car licence too. I do not have in date International Drivers Permit.

The Licence is Irish.

From my research (AI), it seems that I will be only required to sit the theory part of the testing which is quite favourable.

I'm interested to hear from any other folks on DTV (or other visas) that have managed to successfully get their Thai licence by presenting their home country licence.

I'm looking to buy a motorbike and rent cars at times for trips.

Hello, anyone got the Thai driving licence in Pattaya for motorcycles? I'd like to hear about your experiences. I already have a international driving licence for motorcycle.

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

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

Has anyone applied for a new driver's license on a DTV? The required forms are clear to me.

I want my scooter license, and will have to do tests as I don't have that from my home country. I question whether I will have trouble because I don't speak, read or write thai. Will I be able to do these tests? I do not want to hire an agent if I don't have to.

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

Hello everyone. I need the copy of my Irish driving license certified by an Irish Embassy. Do I need it translated to Thai in order to converting to Thai driving license (original driving license is in English)?

*Update*

Thank you everyone. I do appreciate all of your advices. I contacted the local DLT office in my area in Khonkaen (again) to tell them that many foreigners that I know (kinda 😁) didn’t have their driving licenses translated to Thai if it’s in English. They still insisted us (me and my American fiancé) having our driving licenses certified and translated.

It’s the hassle to go to the Embassy in Bangkok to get our driving license certified. We decided to make an appointment with DLT for driving theory exam and driving test. Hopefully, it goes well🤞. Wish us luck!

I need to renew my Thai driving licences for motorbike and car from a 2 year to 5 year licence. My 2 year licences expired in December 2020...I am aware of the documentation required. My question is: Will I be able to renew my licences even though my current licences are expired by 2 months or will I have to go through the initial application & procedure again? TIA ..
