Yes, you can absolutely get a Thai driving license with a DTV. The key factor isnโt necessarily the type of visa you hold, but whether you can meet the Department of Land Transport (DLT) requirements:
-Residence Certificate
-Passport and Visa Copies
-Medical Certificate
-Expired License: since you had a Thai driving license before as a teacher, bring the expired one along. If itโs been less than a year since it expired, you might just need to renew it without retaking tests (though youโll still do a reaction test). If itโs been longer, you may need to go through the full process againโtheory test, practical test, etc.โbut having had one before could still smooth things out.
Practices can vary slightly between different DLT offices across Thailand since they often have some local discretion. ๐
