the dealership got the insurance sorted out for me. I'll take a look for you. Yes I have basic motorcycle endorsement on my UK licence, which was enough for here.
since November, was an easy 2yr transfer type licence from UK. You will also need a separate residence certificate for this for the DLT. So be sure to get 2, 1 for buying the bike, the other to get a licence. Each certificate expires after 30days from issue date.
I use my WISE account, I also get paid in USD. Can pay in many places with card, I usually pull out cash for things like food and drink. Can pay people without QR as long as they can share their account number, works the same, just takes an extra minute or so to do. Not all that bad 👍
My partner got a DTV doing very similar, YT Channel and Online course plus 1 to 1 sessions online. We both applied separately (I contract for a US based start up). As long as you can show income coming in, you should be alright.
We applied from the Spain Thai Embassy, and we're both British, so it will be different, but as long as you have a easy to follow trail, should be all good
