I have just received my O retirement visa. I am driving my wife's car. how long can I drive on my international drivers permit?

Thai Driver license question.

I have my US driver license and a international driver permit issued on Oct 15, 2023.

can i still use these to transfer/get a Thai Driver license without doing the full driver training as if i have never have a license before?

Thanks in advance.

It may be obvious but just to be sure is an International Driving License required for the extension of an existing Thai 2 year drivers license?

Hi, I'm coming to Thailand in December and I want to do the course and get a Thai driver's licence for scooters in Chiang Mai.

Will I be able to get that document if I enter on visa exemption, or do I need a tourist visa for that?

I want to get the driver's licence for insurance purposes, so the document must hold up in case of being challenged by an insurance company.

Hi!

This is more a „everything else“ post/question.

I’m looking to buying a motorbike for our 5 month stay every year. We will keep it by our close friends who live in Thailand for when we are not there.

Does anyone know what I need in terms of paperwork.

Do I need a thai license? I’ve read conflicting info.

I have a current bike license for all bikes.

Any tips on where I can get a good secondhand motorbike, in Bangkok area or near.

Greetings 🙏

Hey guys, drivers licence question.

Trying to find out how long I can get a licence for if on an education or even marriage visa. I'm hearing there are longer licences now for some.

Hello all

Hope you are well and enjoys all that life is offering you

Simple question regarding driving licences

As a UK Citizen my UK driving licence expires somewhere around my 80th Birthday (it’s that far way I’ve never really considered it)

When I move to Thailand, I will initially have an International Driving Permit with a view to getting a Thai Licence (car not motorbike)

How long can I drive under my IDP and how long will ’my’ Thai Driving Licence be valid once I get it

On a side note, if anyone has any experience of obtaining a Thai Driving Licence or extending it, I would appreciate hearing your experiences

Thank You In Advance 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼

Hello, thanks for adding me to the group.

I have read on Tripadvisor driving in Thailand section that an International Driving Permit is not valid if you've got a Non Immigrant visa as it is only valid for tourist visas. I can't find other references to this. Has anyone got more information? Thanks!

Off topic , but hopefully somebody knows

I have a uk driving licence and a international driving licence ( has 2 years on it ) . Is that enough to be able to drive a motorcycle/ scooter in Thailand . I obtained this on the frequent possibility of being stopped a fined every 5 min in Pattaya , a helpful policeman told me this was sufficient. However I was then told , no he's wrong , you need a thai licence ( by an agent )surprisingly . Is he right ?
