CHANGE DRIVING LICENCE PATTAYA
Change Driving Licence Requirements in Pattaya Thailand
Changing your driving license (renewal, conversion) in PattayaThailand for CAR / MOTORBIKE involves booking an appointment via DLT Smart Queue app or website (recommended to avoid lines) and visiting a Department of Land Transport (DLT) office with your passport, valid visa, medical certificate, proof of address (residence certificate/work permit), and your current license. You’ll take vision/reaction tests, complete training (if needed), pay fees, and get your photo taken to receive your new license.
Your international driver’s license or driving license from your country for car or motorbike can be changed into a Thai driving license at the Department of Land Transport Office. In fact, if you live in Pattaya, having a Thai driving license is better than only holding an international driving license.
To change (convert / renew) a driving license in Pattaya, visit the Department of Land Transport (DLT) with your passport, a valid visa, a medical certificate (max 1 month old), a residence certificate (or work permit), and your current license. You will likely need to complete an online theory test, a physical reflex test, and a new photo.

In addition to the legal factor and the insurance coverage mentioned earlier, changing your license into a Thai one offers a few important advantages:
- If you live in the Land of Smiles, it will certainly cost you less to have a local license than to continuously renew your international one;
- A Thai drivers license is often accepted as an official document and will save you from always carrying your passport with you;
- By already having a license from your home country, getting a Thai one is fast and easy and you won’t have to pass a theoretic or practical exam;
- A Thai license is also valid in another 10 countries that make up ASEAN.
