Frequently Asked Questions

Commonly asked questions:

How do I get a certificate of residency? A Certificate of Residency is a specific document issued by most embassies and the Thai Immigration Office. The required documents to get one issued can vary depending on which embassy you visit, your visa type, housing situation, and length of stay. No other forms of address verification will be allowed. For assistance in acquiring the document, please visit our Certificate of Residency page.

Can I use my home country car license to obtain a motorbike license? Yes, but not directly. A car license will allow you to receive a Thai car license, and a motorbike license will allow you to receive a Thai motorbike license. If you currently have a Valid car license it is easiest and most affordable to convert the foreign car license to a Thai license, and then "add" a motorbike license rather than applying for a motorbike license new by itself.

Do I need to attend in person, can somebody do it for me? Although we will lead you through the process with minimal requirement from you, you will have to attend in person and perform the basic vision tests and sit for the picture when the license is being issued.

Do I need letter of residency if I have permanent residency? We can process your drivers license if your permanent residency is issued from the Bang Chak Department of Transport office as that is the location we work from. If you issued from any other location we are unable to utilize permanent residency and a letter of residency will be required.
