Report New Driving Licence Rule Causes Concern Among Expats in Pattaya
You seem to have very small knowledge of things. Regarding most countries in the EU: You must have lived for at least half a year in an EU member country or have a habitual residence there in order to get a driving license from that country. Below you have some easy countries: 🤣 As you probably will find out, most countries have their own little rules. Sometimes, also the validity is no longer than 2-3 years. But, hey! just continue to complain about Thailand instead. Egypt: 18 years of age and older. Certificate from an Egyptian ophthalmologist and/or doctor indicating blood type. Physical and visual test. Send the following certificates and documentation to Attaba Square traffic department in Cairo or Giza: Valid identity card 2 recent photographs Completed and passed LE form of the practical and oral test. Proof of residency Background and violation certificate Updated documents of compulsory insurance against car accidents Single form for private cars Price of fees: 55 EGP. Depending on the fee paid: 3 years or 1 year validity. Processing time: 3 weeks until issuance. You must physically present yourself at the office issuing the driver’s license. Mexico: From 18 years of age. It can be done in English, but it is advisable to know Spanish, both to deal with the police officers who issue it and for the fact that the written test is easier in Spanish. Documentation must be presented at a police station (Secretaría de Seguridad y Protección). Documentation: One of the following: tourist visa, temporary or permanent residence card, visa pre-approved by the Mexican consulate abroad. A valid passport Proof of residency (water, electricity, phone bills) with your name and address Birth certificate (if you are asked to provide it) Medical form (some states require it). Any medical or red cross center can issue it. After the age of 80, this form is accompanied by a vision test. This form indicates, among other things, your blood type. Written exam: The Traffic Regulations governing the written exam can only be found in Spanish, but the exam can be taken in English. However, in some states the English test may not be translated very well and may be confusing. If you know Spanish, we recommend that you take the exam in Spanish. The test is composed of ten questions and you cannot make more than 2 mistakes to pass. Practical test: differs from state to state, but is not considered particularly complicated. It is usually taken in a parking lot or street near the testing center and you are also required to park your vehicle. Once you pass the test, a photograph will be taken and your fingerprints and signature will be taken at the traffic office. You will then receive your Mexican driver’s license. The price of the permit varies depending on the state, but ranges from 500 to 850 pesos (approximately 30 to 50 USD). You can choose between 2, 3 or 5 years validity. Honduras: To obtain a driver’s license in Honduras, you will have to take a written test in Spanish. Once you have passed the theoretical exam, you must pass a practical exam at the Centro de Capacitación Vial. The minimum score to pass both exams is 70 out of 100. You will have to undergo a medical check-up, eye exam and blood tests at the places indicated by the police. After all these steps, you must present the completed application form and all the necessary documents at a police station: Two passport-size color photographs Photocopy of your identity card A Honduran cedula (valid residency card).

If only, I'd be up for this, it would be better if they broadcast it on national TV though. They could use it like a public service announcement, "don't be like Somchai, drive smarter". -

Anybody planning to go back to the US?
Yeah dude, the economy is booming, weed is everywhere, you can have a gun and nobody is firing off artillery like the dikheads running Thai/Cambodia who are gonna lose another expat because of their stupidity. They are a bit more civilized in Crete and the USVI or PR, ie nobody is shooting. Mountains of US in summer, PR in winter The point of retiring to SE Asia is fun. They are taking the fun out of it.
