El Guapo Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I go to AAA for my international Driving Permit. You might want to contact them for clarification. They do look at your current license to verify what you're eligible to drive. An MC permit from the US does have restrictions so they may or may not.... If you can get the actual endorsement on your license you'd probably be better off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damrongsak Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 What restrictions would a MC permit have aside from glasses or the like? I'm not aware of any cc/horsepower restrictions (aside from 50cc scooters) , but some states may have that. My lifetime Thai motorcycle license has just my name in Thai, an address, my pic and my signature on it. Dated 12/06/21. 1978. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Monday Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Are you applying for a Thai license? Having a alid Motorcycle Endorsement on a valid WA State DL will make it easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt1591 Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I had an MC endorsement on my California DL and had that added to my IDP. No problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa al Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) OP Are you currently in Thailand. Do you want riding privileges short time [IDL] or long time? [Thai license] Long time is EZ-ish. Maybe need: Dr. health cert B100 everywhere At Land transport office: Eye test/colorblind/reaction. Maybe you need appointment at Bangkok. Consider using a local agent. Money well spent.
