The issuance and processing of International Driving Permits (IDP) for tourists in Thailand are carried out through the IDA Regional Branch from abroad.
The process does not require any medical examinations, driving tests or additional assessments, as the IDP is issued solely on the basis of a valid National Driving Licence.
Approved documents comply with the 1949 and 1968 UN Conventions on Road Traffic.
