Driving Legally in Thailand
To legally drive a car or motorbike in Thailand as a resident, you must obtain a Thai driving license. This is a crucial step for anyone living here long-term. The process requires being on a Non-Immigrant visa and providing several key documents.
Process & Requirements
We assist with every step of the process.
Key Documents Needed:
- Valid Non-Immigrant Visa: You cannot apply for a Thai license on a tourist visa or visa exemption.
- Certificate of Residence: A document proving your address, which we can help you obtain from immigration.
- Medical Certificate: A simple health check certificate from a local clinic.
- Valid Home Country License: If you have a license from your home country (and it is in English), the process is a straightforward conversion. If it's not in English, it must first be translated and certified by your embassy.
With these documents, we can help you process your application. You will typically be issued a temporary two-year license first, which can later be renewed into a five-year license. CANNVAS ensures a smooth process, getting you your Thai license quickly and without hassle.
