The process of working with clients
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Under Thai law, you must have a valid long-term visa status – such as Non-B, O, OA, ED, or Elite Visa – to obtain or exchange a license. Full details are available on the Department of Land Transport Thailand website.
It depends on your country. For example, Russian and CIS citizens typically take both theory and driving tests. In some cases, exchange may be possible, depending on the DLT office and official translation of your license. Direct exchange without testing is allowed only for countries with agreements in place. We’ll assess your case individually.
Passport, visa copy, TM30 copy, proof of residence, medical certificate, translated and certified national license (if available). We prepare everything for you.
With us, the process takes 1–3 business days through the fast-track queue. Doing it yourself may take weeks.
