Valid for 2 years after which some minor formalities will secure 5 year licences and after that more minor formalities to secure indefinite licences. I believe this is the standard route for Thai nationals as well. It is for my Thai wife anyway. They stopped the indefinite DL about 20 years ago. I was lucky, I got in before then, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain tests will be required. 29 minutes ago, stud858 said: Sure. But regarding costs, days to do, etc etc. I've experienced different to the OP. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets a lifetime licence. Not likely, but not impossible. Good luck if he can somehow swing it. I'd pay a few thousand tip for it. But for now I'm happy with IDP. I wonder if police ever check out or even have the ability to check the validity of licences. Probably a few fakes around. Not only not likely, but impossible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a second time, they no longer issue lifetime licences. 5 years now with updated photo and basic tests, reaction time, colour blindness, peripheral vision, distance awareness, and in some cases a video are required. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
