Seriously who’s ever been stopped to produce a uk driving licence, they will rarely stop you unless your tax is out of date or your vehicle is a jalopy on its last legs. I have never bothered to get a Thai licence🤷🏾♀️
The rules are very simple, if you want detailed answers email the Thai embassy/consulate with exactly what you want to know.
Applying for a DTV is a very simple process provided you meet the criteria and follow the instructions and allow enough time to apply in the country you choose to apply in. These time frames vary from country to country.
agree its Thai logic, doesnt make much sense to foreigners, the trouble is quite a few suspects have slipped through the dtv soft powers net, so the government are probably making it difficult for them and everyone else that open accounts this year and last ..what nationality are you?
