Bezpoleznyak Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Could anyone give me the latest update of what the situation is with getting a driving license? I know in Phuket one has to wait for 2 months to take an exam. In Samui, is it in the same day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Same day, be there 9AM. Medical certificate, copy passport, copy visa, copy entry stamp, residence certificate. Be properly dressed, no shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can probably get a temporary license, if they have not changed recently. Good news is that temporary license is valid for two years now.

I've already had one, I've lost it in another country and besides it expired 2 years ago. So will I be like a first-time-comer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, start over again, but as long as you don't have 1yrs visa you will only get a chance temporary one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bezpoleznyak Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Do you mean 2-year driving license? That's what I want. But don't all farangs, and maybe thai also, get a 2-years driving license first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know all, this is the link from the Motoring Forum , if you weren't too lazy to do a search you can find all your info without asking the same questions over & over you ungrateful person..

Bezpoleznyak Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Oh, God, I made him cranky. If I didn't ask my question, I'd think that in Phuket I could obtain a driving license in one day, whereas one has to wait for 2 months. And it's not written anywhere. So how about research and links to the official website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Yes you have. Go & learn how to read & search before yo annoy more people.Read on here ONE DAY.Butthen take all your wrong paperwork & come back & complain how stupid they are. Really.
