International Driving License - online reservation ??

[Jen65]

My IDP expired in May so decided to renew (just before the Covid pandemic shut down )  .I obtained the Residence Certificate and had all the documents but when I went to Chonburi they informed me they had just stopped issuing licenses and to come back when they resumed !!   I did so today but because a)my residence certificate date had passed the 1 month validity they said I needed a new one !!  I said I had already paid for that and had all the correct documents when I attended before and it was not my fault that they were unable to issue the new IDP !! Also they said I would have to make an appointment/reservation online via DLT website or App .

I will now have to spent the best part of a morning or afternoon going to immigration , applying and paying again for another residence certificate then wait the normal 2 or 3 hours and come back to obtain same .   I just tried to find out where I book an appointment / reservation online but there is NIL / NOTHING /ZILCH about booking an appoinment on the DLT Chonburi Website (only booking for car inspection !!)  . I can find NOTHING when doing a search for IDP / License booking for DLT !!!   

Is Thailand really in the 21st Century ???   Can't believe that Thailand can not intitute all this licence / plate / insurance / tax in to a government online portal where you enter your details / application and get the necessary documents by email or post !!!  They just love wasting people's time !!

Anybody know where to find the online booking / reservation system for DLT IDP application ????   ( Even in this forum it is still saying that DLT are not issuing licenses due to Covid - but that is NOT the case as the issue of licenses has resumed although by appointment )

That's who issues Thai international driving permits, the FIA?  Are you sure?

Not sure about website just trying to help.

I never have needed a IDP wherever l've been with my UK DL.

If I go UK with my Thai DL I don't need a IDP.

Hope you can sort your DL problems out.

I appreciate that you were trying to help but the FIA does not issue Thai IDPs.

 

I haven't got any problems to sort out, I've got my IDP, it's the OP that started the thread, not me.

My responding to your post suggesting where he should go for the IDP appointment, that was 100% inaccurate, did help the OP!

Yes

 

Last time I renewed my Driving license, They made me come back and do a new Residence Certificate again because the month of validity of the Certificate had expired ...Only for 2 days.

[Jen65]

All sorted - I did a new Residence Certificate in the morning at Jomtien and then went to Rayong to get my IDP  ( Chonburi gave me a lot of useless / wrong info / always busy with long queues and long waits !!!  shall not bother there anymore )    Rayong really helpful , polite and quick - no big queues !!   No online reservation needed !!   All done in a day .
