    Very informative, Ethan. Thanks for the video. I'm planning to head out to Thailand at the end of this year. I've seen all your videos and I'll be preparing for any hiccups that may pop up.

    Nice to see you again. :) Thanks for the information. You have a way of breaking down what is required & making it all so easy. :) I gave up at requirement number 2 on seeing the words "valid for 1 year" & "work permit". But you went on & broke it down.

    good information, but if you get an international drivers licence in your own country you are allowed to drive on that in Thailand for a year before any need to do the Thai drivers licence

    I just got a drivers license with a 30 day tourist visa, had to go via a third party thai drivers school (did the course via them) to get it however all the paper work was accepted by the DLT in 2024 and issued me the license

    You can get an international drivers license, not a Thai license, if you surrender your valid licence from your home country.

    Do you have to have more than 30 days left on visa or extension? I will extend my visa but plan but can’t book the test until 12th December but my extension will end on 5th January so less than a month left on it from the test date. I came on a 60 tourist visa and extending it one month.

      Hello Brother. I'm heading to Thailand in January..I got a international driver's license at AAA. So I can rent a motorcycle. I have the bike license in USA. I want to extend my visa past 30 days. According to everything I have seam hear I can. I just need to have my girlfriend family file out T 30 form and then I can go to immigration and apply to stay extra 30 days. Any feedback would be appreciated my friend. I'm leaving in January 24. Thanks Marc 🙏✈️👍

      Part 1 was basically the same information everybody had already. A bit disappointing to see that he did follow through with a part 2 as promised. That's the one we wanted. We all want to know if it's possible (for real) to get that certificate, right?!
