Drivers License

Featured Replies

Hello, could you tell how can I get a Thai drivers license having my Swiss drivers license in French, German, Italian but no English....

What is the procedure and any tips will be very welcome....

Regards, Francois

get an international standard one, you can interchange it then for a thai without having to do tests.

Provided you have got a Non-Immigrant visa. A drivers license is not permitted for a tourist.

What is the rule for long time expired Thai license? (14months)

Start the process all over again or just do the renewl?

30 day stamp ok or does one need a visa and work permit?

Regards,

BR

Hi, I understand that you can exchange an International Drivers Licence for a Thai issue but can anyone tell me the best way to obtain an International Licence. I have heard that there are several scams involved and that some are not worth the laminated paper they are printed on!

I can get an AA International Drivers Permit here in the UK, valid for one year, no problem. Is this acceptable to exchange for a Thai licence?

Any advice would be appreciated. Andy.

You will still need a non-imm. visa,med check,add. verif. photos,etc. You just don't exchange one for the other.

Why do you want a Thai drivers license?

If you intend on staying here for any length of time get a proper visa then you can aquire a Thai license with lttle problem.

The international driving permit is a legal document valid for all countries except two they will ask what country you are visiting when applying for the document it will last a year and is not expensive.

The police here as a rule don't know what it is,this to me seeing that Thailand has millions of tourists each year seemd very odd as I should imagine many of these tourists will have such a document.

So the license here I can change with a international from my country?

This I can also do at the immigration office?

Do you know a good car is it expensive in Thailand. I do not mind it is old a few years only, when I earn some money in Thailand.
