To apply for a Thai driving license, you’ll need the following documents:
Passport
- Valid passport with a minimum visa validity of 15 days for tourists. Other visa types (work, retirement, etc.) are also accepted.
Resident Certificate
- Issued by your local Immigration Office or obtained through the police. Must be valid for at least 30 days. This document confirms your Thai address and is required for both expats and tourists.
Medical Certificate
- A health check certificate from any registered clinic or hospital. It must be issued within 30 days before the application.
For many, gathering these documents can be complicated, but with our help, you can rest assured that everything will be prepared properly and in a timely manner.
Video Training (5 hours)
- This mandatory training session covers Thai road rules, traffic regulations, and safety guidelines. It is a one-day video course, which can be completed at the Department of Land Transport (DLT). Experthai will schedule this for you and provide guidance on what to expect.
Appointment Scheduling
- With our expertise, we’ll handle all appointment scheduling on your behalf. This is one of the most time-consuming aspects of the process, but our fast-track service ensures you get an appointment much quicker than usual.
Document Processing
- We take care of submitting all necessary documents to the DLT, ensuring that everything is in order to prevent any delays.
Written Exam
- The written exam tests your knowledge of Thai road laws and traffic signs. It consists of 50 multiple-choice questions, and you’ll need to score at least 45 correct answers to pass.
- The exam is available in Thai or English, and Experthai provides comprehensive training materials, including a mock exam to help you prepare.
Physical Testing
- The DLT requires three physical tests:
- Depth Perception Test
- Reaction Time Test
- Color Blindness Test
- These are quick, simple tests designed to ensure you are physically capable of driving safely on Thai roads.
Practical Driving Test
- The final step is the practical driving test on a closed course at the DLT. You’ll need to demonstrate basic driving skills, including parallel parking, reversing, and turning maneuvers.
- Motorbike & car rental is available at the DLT for THB 50-100, with your first rental included in our service package. Further rentals are chargeable.

Why you need a Thai driving license
A valid Thai driving license is not just a legal requirement for driving in Thailand; it also functions as an important form of local identification. It simplifies processes such as vehicle rental, registration, and insurance. Additionally, having a Thai license means you won't have to depend on an international driving permit, which is only valid for a limited time. The Thai driving license provides a more permanent solution, initially valid for two years and eligible for renewal thereafter.
