Thai Driving License in Phuket

Driving in Phuket is far safer and cheaper with a Thai license — and many foreign licenses can be converted at the Department of Land Transport (DLT). We explain the documents and prepare you for the visit.

Who can convert a license

If you hold a valid foreign driving license or an International Driving Permit, you can usually obtain a Thai license at the Phuket DLT. Without a recognised license you may need to take the practical test as well.

Documents you usually need

• Passport with a valid visa and entry stamp
• Proof of address (residence certificate from Immigration or your embassy)
• Recent medical certificate
• Your foreign license or IDP, sometimes with a translation

Note: even converted licenses usually require the short video plus colour, reflex and depth-perception checks at the DLT.

How we help

We give you the exact checklist, help you obtain the residence certificate and medical certificate, explain the DLT process and tests, and get you ready so the visit goes smoothly.
