Okey! Have to go to immigration then

Hi everyone, I need some help clarifying a few things before heading to the DLT (Department of Land Transport) to get my Thai driving license. Driving License Requirements: Do I need to bring my original EU driving license together with my International Driving Permit (IDP), or will just the IDP be sufficient? Unfortunately, I only have my International Driving Permit with me, as I didn’t bring my original EU driving license. Will that cause any issues? Health Check: Does the health check need to be done at a government hospital, or can it be done at a regular clinic? Visa Requirements: Is there a specific visa required for applying for a Thai driving license, or can it be done with any type of visa? Other Documents: Besides my passport, what else do I need to prepare? Are there any additional documents I should bring to avoid delays? Thanks in advance for your help! I appreciate any advice you can offer.

I will, thanks for the help!

Yes, I’ll ask the agent tomorrow. I’ll be sure to give a report on the situation. Last time I asked about it was a month ago, and it cost 4,000 baht.

I’m in Pattaya. So, I don’t need to apply for an e-visa, right?

I mean the 60-day visa exemption. Yes, that’s my plan—I’ll be using an agent.

I guess I mean the 60-day visa exemption. What’s the difference?

Hi everyone, I’m currently on an ED visa and planning to do a border bounce with a visa agent at Ban Pakkad Border (to Cambodia and back) to get a 60 day visa exempt. Does anyone know the current situation with e-visas at the border in 2025? Should I apply for an e-visa online before returning to Thailand, or can it be done at the border? Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year!

I've been searching for information on obtaining a Thai ID card, but it appears to be quite challenging. I've heard that having an Ed visa should make it easier, but I could use some valuable guidance on the process. Can anyone provide assistance on how to obtain one as a foreigner? Cheers and have a great day!

Yeah i did not get an answer to this question, sorry about this

I'm about to finish my one-year language Ed visa and plan to extend it for another year. How long should I wait before returning to Thailand to apply for another year? I've heard conflicting information - some say I should wait one month before returning, while others suggest doing a border run and reapplying upon reentry. Additionally, I'm wondering if it's possible to extend my Ed visa for another year without leaving Thailand. Could you please clarify these options? Thank you for your response!

Could you tell me how advanced the test is?

I have but its not so good. It was a bit hard.

both for thai language

lets say i cancel my ed visa so my last day to stay is util 1 mars and fly to cambodia and come back to thailand on land thru boarder by my self without any agency, will that be an issue?

yeah my plan is to get one more ed-visa for 1 year. The thing is that some say this fee is not needed

I am planning to conduct a border run as my ED-visa is ended. Upon visiting a visa agency for assistance, I was informed that I would need to pay 3000 baht for the border run itself and an additional 3000 baht to clear my passport from the ED-visa status, totaling 6000 baht. I am unsure if this additional fee to clear my passport is legitimate, especially considering I have already canceled my ED-visa. Alternatively, I am considering flying out of Thailand to Cambodia and returning via a border crossing. Given that my proficiency in the Thai language is limited, I am concerned about potential language assessments at the airport. Therefore, I am contemplating re-entering Thailand through the Khlong Yai border crossing. Could you please advise if this plan is advisable? I have never undertaken a border run in Thailand before and would appreciate any guidance or insights you can provide. Thank you."

When I exchange my Eu driving license at the DLT in Chonburi, my current license only covers cars and 50cc motorcycles. I'm curious if my new Thai license will allow me to ride motorcycles larger than 50cc or if a Thai car license permits driving any type of motorcycle? If its not possible what can i do to get a motorcycle license?Thank you for your help!

They are testing your skills to see if you really did study thai for example, since there is a lot of students just do it for it he visa

😅 that would be crazy! That’s what my school told but I don’t know how often they do it. When it comes to boarders I am not so sure

Thanks for you amazing answer. Can recommend me a border that is safe for bounce back? Maybe close to pattaya

Sounds like a good option, is there any good close to pattaya? I heard a story that someone paying 10000 baht to clear there passport, what the meaning of that and is that a thing?

Thanks for your response. I am not sure, which one should I take? I am in Pattaya now, so the closest best I guess.

Won’t it cancel when I exit Thailand? How do I cancel it? Yes that’s my plan to re-enter and get tourist visa. thanks for your response

When conducting a border run from Thailand to Cambodia and back on an Ed visa before its expiration, is there a possibility of being asked for additional funds upon re-entry into Thailand to “clear the passport” ? I'm aware that airports usually conduct language proficiency tests, but I've heard that border crossings might not. Are there specific precautions I should take? My total stay in Thailand with the Ed visa before it expires will be 9 months. Thanks for any advice!
