yes. 90 days and prepaid.. They were strict about that. They told me I could not cancel.. But I prepaid on agoda. Canceled after I go here and rented a condo. I extended one time as well no problem using the lease agreement.

Michael.. I did my stv in March in Taipei.

Provided nothing has changed... It's was easier than most places. YOU MUST HAVE AN ARC. They did not require medical check or background check.. Which made it easier.

Just walk into the office at in Taipei in the morning. Bring you the required documents and 2 passport photos. Visa approved and picked up next day.

There is no requirement for remaining duration of visa to get a DL. At least not in Bangkok, as always in Thailand results may vary.

You will get to get a resident cert from immigration or embassy (most likely for tourist).

You reach out to services like fat boys to help you with the process for a fee.

@Logan ******

for Thailand driver license you need address in Thailand. If you are US passport, just got embassy and you do an affidavit with your thailand address on it. It cost 50usd. You will need to book an appointment about 3 weeks out.

@Logan ******

you can always get from your embassy, you don't need immigration residents cert. In Bangkok you do not file 90 day reports on stv.

@Florin *******

you got a resident cert from immigration? You should not be able to on visa exempt or TR60 because you have to file 90 day report first before a resident cert can be issued...which you would not do as those visa options do not allow you stay longer than 90 days.

@Grant ******

I can recommend a school for a legitimate Ed visa. An agent you mean just give money for visa?

Yes you can a license in Thailand, even on a tourist visa. Since you don't have one already, it will take 2 days.

I recommend you use a service like fat boys to help stream line the process for you.

The biggest issue you might have is getting a resident certificate on short notice. As a tourist you can't get from immigration, you can use you embassy. Different embassy have different requirements. The US embassy you just do an affidavit saying what your address is. The problem is appointment are typically booked out several weeks.

Just put in your first planned stay.

Wait and see.

Before nov 1, no access to sim, some atm in baggage area.

In phuket though for sandbox can get sim and atm no problem.. So it might change for the Nov 1 in BKK.
