David Broadfoot Usually, a temporary resident is a person who live less than 180 days/year in a country.

The last time I went with a TM30 form and ID copy at the immigration, they told me they don't need it anymore. They just asked the house registration and the ID card of the house owner and entered the data in their computer.

It's in French and Canadian laws as well.

David Broadfoot As per international acceptance, if you stay in a country more than 90 days, you are no more a tourist. If you are not a tourist, you're not supposed to drive with a foreign driving license. Of course, some countries are more lenient than others in that regard.

Strange that Luma is not on the official list of companies offering a retiree insurance for OA visa.

"An international driving permit (IDP), often (incorrectly) referred to as an international driving licence (IDL), is translation of a domestic driver licence that allows the holder to drive a private motor vehicle in any country or jurisdiction that recognises the document.

To be valid, the IDP must be accompanied by a valid driving licence issued in the applicant's country of residence."

@Bobby *******

Sorry, I issued those licenses in one of my past jobs.

Well, in pre covid time you could if you decided to not use your visa and void it.

But my question here is more about entering with the existing visa, but not mentioning it on the COE.

@Ray ****

I haven't found an insurance offering less than 1 year so far. We are speaking of the retiree's insurance 40,,000 baht here.

As a tourist, you're allowed to drive in a foreign country with an international license + your national license for no more than 90 days.

The international license is merely the standardized format of a translation, that's why it should be used together with your national license.
