XGM Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Can a Thai person who stays abroad, and has a Thai driving license, get an international driving license issued here without physically arriving to Thailand for the procedure? For example, using a power of attorney? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manfredtillmann Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 why do you want to? most 'western' countries are happy to accept the thai d/l for car hire etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwasaki Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 A 5 year Thai DL's in most counties abroad qualifies the driver to drive up to 1 year in that country after that they have to do a driving examination test in that country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGM Posted August 26, 2016 Author Share Posted August 26, 2016 Local license can and will be received eventually but it is a long process. International license is required in the country in question. This is supposed to be an interim solution. My question is clear I think... I do appreciate the replies and your willingness to share knowledge and assist, however they do not answer the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manfredtillmann Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 perhaps non of us know, i suppose most of us are farang and will never have to deal with a situation like this. may be you should contact a thai motor department? cheers mft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your not being very helpful with your vague question. e.g. licence or permit !!, abroad where !!. etc. If you have a full DL a 5 year Thai DL is a full DL then you get a International driving permit sometimes wrongly referred to as a International driving license in Thailand. I would say a IDP would be have to be applied for in person because fraud abuse. http://www.pattayacityexpatsclub.com/expats/docs/Intl driving permit issued in Thailand.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
