CAR DRIVING LICENSE PATTAYA THAILAND
Car Driving License Requirements in Pattaya Thailand
To obtain a Thai driving license for a car in Pattaya, you must be at least 18 years old, hold a valid non-immigrant or tourist visa, and successfully complete both a written and practical driving test. Foreigners should apply at a Department of Land Transport (DLT) office, where they will often need to make an appointment.
If it is your first time obtaining a driver’s license in Pattaya, Thailand, you will receive a temporary car permit valid for 2 years, and when those first 2 years are nearly up, you must make another trip to the Department of Land Transport, with the helpful assistance of Pattaya4all, to secure another regular Thai driving license, which will be valid for the next 5 years.
To obtain a car driving license in Pattaya, you need to submit a passport (non-immigrant visa), a residency certificate (or work permit), a medical certificate, and a home license to the Banglamung Department of Land Transport (DLT). You also must pass a vision test, complete a 5-hour video training, take a written test, and successfully perform a driving test. Once issued, new licenses remain valid for a temporary period of 2 years.
