Hi,

a friend of mine (who is in Thailand on a Non-Immi-OA expiring March 2020) tried to apply for a driving licence.

He prepared all neccessary papers/health certificates and went to DLT. They of course redirected him to Immigration to have a proof of residence.

At Immigration (Nong Khai) a guy that was new to the staff told him in a pretty rude way: "There's a new regulation. Come back in one year when you have your first extension of stay. Until then you can't have a driving licence".

Does anyone know about this new regulation? My friend asked for a written confirmation of this new regulation but he was just rejected with no information.

So? Anyone for more information?

Thx
