stoli Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 You can only get an IDP, (International Drivers Permit), from the country that you reside in. This is accepted as the country is which you already have a Driver's License. If you don't have a Thai license, they are not going to legally give you a license to drive in the rest of the world. An IDP is not valid in the country that you receive it from, so having one from Thailand would not allow you to drive here. However, you can receive a Driver's License here with a non-imm visa, but it takes a while, and testing. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding was also that you needed to have the 5 year (Full) licence to get a Thai IDP and normally you cannot get that without a long term visa. It is possible to get a 2 year provisional on a visa waiver stamp in many DLTs but you still would not get a Thai IDP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza40 Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 A Thai IDP?? I suppose if you get one, it's a testament to your survival skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 You have to have a 5 year Thai driving license to be eligible to apply for a Thai IDP. Currently that would mean obtaining and using a 2 year Thai provisional license first. Even if you had all the correct documents it's a 2 year wait.

You can convert your 2 year temporary Thai DL over to a 5 year Thai dl after one year . You do not have to wait the full 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
