A mod of one of these groups spoke to a high ranking immigration official in Bangkok who said that you must do 90-day reporting with a DTV. He posted about it in the group.

what about road test?

@Brandon ***********

Is it like when other countries "exchange" your home country license with the new county license or do you have to actually take written tests and road tests?

Wow, I never knew that. Thanks for the info. I used an agent to open a bank account when I was here on a tourist visa. I now have a long-term visa. This same agent offered to get me a Thai driver's license. We did not discuss the price yet. Do you think it's worth it to use an agent to avoid doing all of the leg work and running around? She said I would not have to do anything basically.

This is just out of curiosity. What is the benefit of having a Thai drivers license versus having your home license and an international driving permit?

Use an agent. 5,000 baht to open an account. I opened my account with Bangkok Bank on a lowly tourist visa

It's much much cheaper to take a bus/train to Cambodia or Laos and come right back in. 😅

@Stuart ********

Thank you 👍👍

Thanks for your effort. Can we know how you confirmed it?
