Dear All,
a quick feedback...
I was today at DLT to get the driving licence. Passport, health certificate and work permit was with me, as well as the international driving licence (by the way no type of driving licence was mentioned at all earlier as a required document).
Unfortunately, the application was not accepted, so we could not proceed...
The officer (very friendly, English speaking) could not accept the international driving licence, as that document is based on the Convention from 1968 (this is what I get in Hungary), and Thailand accepts only the one based on Convention 1949...
So I was asked to get an official translation of my Hungarian driving licence at the Embassy.
Have to go back at another date, and I will have to participate a 1-hour training/class/test (?), whatever.
So complete waste of time today...
I am bit disappointed as I assumed that the info I have is complete - driving licence, different conventions, 1 hour tests etc was not mentioned at all.
Now I will arrange the translation with the Embassy, appreciate of you can doublecheck again with DLT making sure that I will have all, proper documentation with me, and get back to me if there is anything else in addition.
