Frequently Asked Questions About Drone Registration in Thailand

Got questions about registering your drone in Thailand? We’ve got answers! Here are some of the most common queries we receive:

Do I need to register my drone in Thailand?

Yes, all drones with cameras must be registered in Thailand, regardless of weight. This includes popular models like the DJI Mini series, which are under 250g. You need approvals from both CAAT (Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand) and NBTC (National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission).

How long does the drone registration process take?

With our service, the entire process typically takes less than a week before you enter Thailand. However, the final steps can only be completed upon your arrival in Thailand. We recommend starting the process at least 2 weeks before your trip to ensure smooth completion.

Can I register my drone after I arrive in Thailand?

While it’s possible, we strongly recommend starting the process before your arrival. This allows us to prepare most of the paperwork in advance, saving you valuable vacation time. The final steps, including receiving CAAT approval, must be done after you enter Thailand.

What documents do I need for drone registration in Thailand?

A copy of your passport
Photos of your drone (from various angles)
Drone specifications (model, weight, serial number)
Proof of insurance (we can assist with this)
We’ll guide you through submitting these documents once you start your application.

Do I need insurance for my drone in Thailand?

Yes, third-party liability insurance is mandatory for all registered drones in Thailand. We offer insurance options tailored to different drone sizes, ranging from 499 to 799 THB. If you have qualifying international drone insurance, it may be accepted, but Thai insurance often simplifies the process.

Can I fly my drone anywhere in Thailand once it’s registered?

While registration is crucial, there are still restrictions on where you can fly. Drones are prohibited in many national parks, near airports, and in some urban areas. Always check local regulations and seek permission when necessary. We provide general guidance on flying zones with your registration and show you how to receive a permission for national parks.

What happens if I fly an unregistered drone in Thailand?

Flying an unregistered drone in Thailand can result in severe penalties, including fines up to 100,000 THB (approximately $3,000 USD) and/or imprisonment. Your drone may also be confiscated. It’s crucial to complete the registration process to avoid these risks.

Do I need a Thai phone number for drone registration?

Yes, a Thai phone number is required to complete the CAAT registration process. If you don’t have one, we offer a SIM card service for 400 THB, which includes purchasing a Thai SIM card and setting up your CAAT account before your arrival.

How much does drone registration cost in Thailand?

Our comprehensive service costs 2,100 THB, which includes handling both CAAT and NBTC registrations. Additional costs include mandatory insurance (499-799 THB depending on drone size) and an optional SIM card service (400 THB). The total cost typically ranges from 2,599 to 3,299 THB.

Can I use my drone for commercial purposes in Thailand after registration?

The standard registration we provide is for recreational use. If you plan to use your drone for commercial purposes, additional permits and qualifications may be required. Contact us for more information on commercial drone use in Thailand.
