June 17, 20205 yr 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 )

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.

July 20, 20205 yr Author Popular Post 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 .
