Can you obtain a Thai driving license on a DTV visa?

Markus *****

When I was in Bangkok, they would not give the needed residency certificate with on a tourist visa. Not sure if you can with a DTV. However, I went to Pattaya and they will give one no problem. So first and foremost is to make sure you can get the residency certificate where ever you are as each town maybe different

Can I get a 5-year driver's license extension on a DTV visa in Thailand?

Markus *****

Possibly, but I don't think so. In my opinion, maybe it is the fact you need a long term visa for the 5 year DL, and the DTV is only 180 days per entry so less than a year that normally given for other longer term visas despite the fact the validity is 5 years. Buuuut I really don't know just my speculation.

Can I get a 5-year driver's license extension on a DTV visa in Thailand?

Markus *****

I renewed my 2 year DL for the 2nd time on my DTV and was only given 2 years. I asked why I can't get 5 years and she just said she doesn't know, its just the way it is. First application and first renewal were both on tourist visa at that time. Chonburi office.

How can I help my son recover his belongings from Chiang Mai after he was denied entry at immigration?

@Sandi ******

Yes exactly this Sandi, but aren't you doing this tho by saying anyone with money is privileged without knowing their past experiences and sacrifices to get there? 🤔

What agencies in Bangkok can assist with TM30, residence certificate, and obtaining a Thai driving license?

Markus *****

Yeah BKK is annoying for this. Had this problem trying to get Residence Certificate for buying new bike. Instead I came to Pattaya where it is super easy and can get on shorter term visa. I think in Chiang Mai as well you don't need long term visa.

Markus *****

How far in advance of the 90 days can you do it? Does it need to be within 14 days or 30 days? This will be my first :)

Can I choose not to activate my DTV visa upon entering Thailand?

Markus *****

If you have it, it is already activated as shown on the visa (valid from...valid until). The validity has already begun as soon as approved
