Here are all the steps that you need to follow to get an online driving licence in Thailand. Most of the process occurs at the Department of Land Transport (DLT), but you can get a head start online using the DLT Smart Queue app. Here’s a complete guide to help you through the process, ensuring it’s as smooth as possible. Step 1: Using the DLT Smart Queue App The DLT Smart Queue app is a helpful tool created by the Department of Land Transport to streamline the appointment process. Instead of waiting in long lines, you can book your time slot ahead of your visit. Here's how to use it: Download the app from the App Store or Google Play. Register by entering your personal details and creating a password. Select your preferred DLT office location. Choose "Licence" as the service type, and specify your vehicle type and licence type. Pick an available date and time for your appointment. Confirm the booking and save the QR code, which you’ll need on the day of your visit. While the app saves time by prioritising people with appointments, be aware that some users have reported difficulties logging in. It could benefit from additional features like fingerprint or face recognition for ease of use. Step 2: Gather the Required Documents Before heading to the Department of Land Transport, make sure you have all your documents ready. For foreigners, the required documents are as follows: A valid passport with at least 6 months of remaining validity. A non-immigrant visa valid for at least 3 months. Proof of address (can be a letter from immigration or your work permit). A medical certificate from a licensed doctor (valid for one month). Your home country driving licence or an international driving licence (translated into Thai or English if not in English). Two 2-inch photos taken within the last 6 months. Make photocopies of all your documents, sign them, and check with your local DLT office for any recent changes before you visit. Step 3: Physical and Theoretical Tests Once at the DLT office, you’ll undergo both physical and theoretical tests. The physical tests will check for colour blindness, reflexes, and depth perception. You’ll also take a practical driving test, either using a simulator or a real vehicle depending on the office. After passing the physical test, you’ll need to attend a 5-hour training course (or 1 hour for a motorcycle licence), covering Thai traffic rules and road safety. Finally, you’ll take a theory test, consisting of 50 multiple-choice questions. To pass, you’ll need to score at least 90% (45 correct answers), while motorcycle applicants require a 75% pass rate. If you fail, you have up to 90 days to retake the exam. Please note that these tests are only required if you don't have your driver's licence from your home country.
