THAI DRIVING LICENCE PATTAYA

Get a Thai driving licence for car and motorbike in Pattaya

Getting a Thai driving licence in Pattaya is not difficult. When you see how bad a lot of Thai drivers are, you may even wish they made it more difficult to get one. After moving to Thailand it’s very important that you do get one, though. Traffic police routinely set up roadblocks to stop motorists and check if they’ve got their license and vehicle tax in order. Having a Thai driving license in this situation will mean that you’re back on your way in under 30 seconds.

If you wish to be able to drive both cars and motorcycles in Pattaya Thailand, then you’ll have to apply for 2 separate driving permits, and you’ll be issued 2 different physical cards, but you can get both done during the same visit (or series of visits) to the Land Transportation Office. If your home country driving license is only valid for automobiles then you will still have to take the written and driving tests to get your Thai motorcycle driving license.

First time getting a Thai driving license, you’ll be issued a temporary permit valid for 2 years. When the first 2 years are nearly up, you can make another trip to the Department of Land Transport and get a regular license which is valid for 5 years.

Remember that driving laws and regulations are subject to change, and it’s crucial to stay informed and comply with the local rules. Always exercise caution and follow road safety guidelines when driving in Thailand.

Changing to a Thai Driving Licence

If you are a foreigner in Pattaya Thailand and wish to change your foreign driving license to a Thai driving license, the process generally involves several steps. Please note that the specific requirements and procedures may vary, and it’s always a good idea to check with the local authorities or the Department of Land Transport in Pattaya for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

What do i need to get a Thai licence.

Our Company require from you the following to change your foreign driving licence to a Thai driving licence :

  • Medical Certificate
  • Residence Certificate or Work Permit
    We can help you to get a Residence Certificate proof of address either at your local Immigration office.
  • Passport
    As stated above, you’ll need to hand over copies of all the important pages in your passport: info page, current visa, latest entry stamp, embarkment card. You should of course have a valid non-immigrant visa. There are conflicting reports online of people being able to get a Thai driving license on a tourist visa. If you’re here to work in Thailand as an Iglu employee, that of course wouldn’t apply to you. But if others happen to be reading this, don’t be surprised if you run into trouble trying to get one on a tourist visa.
  • Valid Driving License or International Driving Permit
    The whole process will be much easier if you have a valid driving license from your home country or International Driving Permit. If the license is not in English, then you’ll need to get a translation from your embassy. You’ll need photocopies of the front and back of your license or copies of all pages of an International Driving Licence.

Just supply us with all of the above and we will take care of it for you. You can hand the required documentation into our office in Pattaya

Foreigners from Thailand must know that Thai driving licenses come in 2 and 5-year versions. Therefore, after you have enjoyed your Thai driving license for 2 years, you need to take the next step and obtain a more durable vehicle license renewal in Pattaya that lasts 5 years.

This procedure may seem confusing when you are a foreigner and have no idea about what license to apply for, where, and when. Thankfully, we provide you with the necessary information about how to obtain a vehicle license renewal in Pattaya.

Renew Thai driving licence is fairly simple. You basically just need to take all of the same documents that were required for your first application along with your temporary Thai driving licence. You will only need to take the vision and reaction tests this time. Then you’ll be given a regular license which is valid for 5 years.

You can renew your thai driving licence up to 1 months before the expiration of your current one. Don’t allow your original 2-year temporary license to expire before renew or you’ll have to get another temporary license and re-take any necessary examinations.

What documents to prepare for Thai driver license renewal in Pattaya

  • Medical certificate
  • 2-year Thai driving license

Having a driver’s license is a great idea for the long term foreigner staying in Thailand. Of course for the obvious reasons of not getting tickets from the police. Also, not having a license can actually void your insurance if you happen to get in an accident. You can also use your driver’s license for discounts at some museums, parks, temples and places where foreign tourists are often charged more than the Thai people.
