Henk Langeweg Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hi, I have my country domestic driving license and an International Driving License. What do I have to do so that the DLT gives me a Thai driving license without the hussle of doing practical and theoretical exam? I have seen the e-learning video and answered successfully the questions. I made an appointment with the DLT with the DLT Smart Que App using my Thai Tax ID, because passport ID doesn't work. I understand that I need the following documents: - passport and copies. - IDL, Domestic license from Home country. - Certificate of residence from Immigration office - Medical certificate - ? Do I need more besides money? I want to do car and bike in one time. Do I need 2 medical- and residence certificates or can I copy them? Foto's?

So how does a person with one eye, color blind , and subject to small seizures(Petite mal ? ) fare if in possession of a current valid foreign license and IDP ?

They won't get a Thai DL in most DLT's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it interesting but don't think it's a mistake by people more a mis-understanding saying international driving licence as I found over the years working in different countries my Full UK DL was regarded as an IDL because I didn't need a IDP in those countries, I have never been to a country that needed a IDP to drive with my UK DL. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novacova Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) I acquired both motorcycle and car drivers license, having an international permit certainly made everything a lot easier, though I don’t have a motorcycle endorsement. My wife suggested getting certified at a CM driving school. 1000฿ for the motorcycle course that took a couple days, Q&A on the PC on day 1, and driving course day 2. And only 200฿ for the car course since I had both a drivers license and international permit, that entailed only a 40 minute video of car accidents. They put all/made sure all the documents were in order, doing it this way I was able to take care of both at the same time. The next morning, day 3, I went to the DLT in hangdong, took a number waited about 10 minutes gave them the documents, green yellow red lights Q&A, waited about another 5 minutes, photo and print both license and out the door. It was a breeze. Very efficient office. I only needed one copy of certificate of residence and medical with this process. Do note that with my experiences that any documents you submit to the government such as certificate of residence and health will not be returned to you.

seajae Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I used an international driving licence to get car and bike licences in Thailand although they also asked to see my Australian licence to make sure I did have them, still had to do all the BS tests though, the only licence they wouldnt give me is the heavy truck licence, the man at that counter wanted money, told him he could shove that where the sun dont shine. You also have to re do the tests every 5 years as well and watch the absolutely BS video that is a joke at best, no wonder thais are so bad on the road with a garbage instructional video like that being used but they all ignore it and play with their phones anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have noticed it happening more since the name change from TV to AN, not only that the silly questions which just need a bit of common sense to solve themselves. Also some of the threads going on for much longer now and turning into peeing contests. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
