You can get a Thai driving license in Phuket in just 1-2 days. The process includes a medical check-up (100-200 ฿), a training video (1 hour), a theory test (50 questions, passing score — 45), and a practical exam at the DLT (Department of Land Transport). Government fee: 205 ฿ for a motorcycle license, 305 ฿ for a car license. Without a Thai license or IDP, the fine is 500-1,000 ฿, and in case of an accident your insurance won't cover the damage. I help with document preparation and full accompaniment.
In case of an accident without a Thai license, the insurance company will deny your claim. This also applies to health insurance — treatment after a motorbike accident will have to be paid out of your own pocket.
The fine for driving without a license is 500-1,000 baht. Phuket police regularly conduct checkpoints, especially in tourist areas: Patong, Kata, Karon.
Officially, an IDP (International Driving Permit) is valid in Thailand, but in practice police often don't accept them, especially for motorcycles.
An initial Thai license is issued for 2 years, then renewed for 5 years. It's a fully recognized document accepted everywhere in Thailand.
We gather all the required documents. I help with obtaining the Certificate of Residence and medical certificate.
We visit a clinic near the DLT — vision and blood pressure check. Takes 10-15 minutes.
Watch a training video on Thai traffic rules (1 hour), then take a computer-based test — 50 questions, you need 45 correct answers.
After passing the test — photo and plastic license card issued on the same day.
Exact cost and the nearest available date will be confirmed after your request — it depends on the license type (motorcycle, car, or both categories) and available documents.
