Perfect. Thanks for the timely response.

Hey everyone, 

I just moved to Chiang Mai and learned the hard way (400 baht later) that my international driver license is only valid for cars and not motorcycles. I am here under the 6 month METV and wanted to know if it is possible to get a Thai drivers license with this visa. From my research, I've seen a lot of forums stating that you need to have a non-immigrant visa in order to get the license, or "you should be able to get a driver license with a tourist visa" but that doesn't seem 100% certain. 

Does anyone have any experience with this and/or any useful input? Let me know.

Cheers,

Brian

Hey everyone,

I am wondering if it is possible to get a Thai Drivers License on a METV? I am here for six months and want to easily commute around town without having to avoid traffic stops by the police (and the 400 baht fee, lets be honest). Anyone have any input on this? From my research, I've seen that you must have a non-immigrant visa in order to apply for a drivers license here in CM. 

Let me know.

Best,

Brian
