How to become a pilot

The credential is best described as a registration-linked knowledge test rather than a formal licence. Applicants register and then pass an online exam through the CAAT UAS Portal, verified with a Thai mobile number for a one-time password, resulting in a drone pilot certificate valid for two years.

A failed exam requires a 24-hour wait before retrying.

About the regulation

Civil drone operation in Thailand is regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) under a 2015 Ministry of Transport announcement made pursuant to the Air Navigation Act. Hobby flying under 2 kilograms needs only general permission and no individual registration. Anything from 2 to 25 kilograms flown recreationally, and all commercial flying up to 25 kilograms, requires individual registration with the CAAT Director-General, along with mandatory liability insurance of at least 1 million baht.

Drones over 25 kilograms need case-by-case Ministerial permission.

Confirm current requirements on the authority's official site before you enroll or fly.

This page is for general orientation and may not reflect the latest regulatory changes. It is not legal advice: confirm current rules, fees, and permitted zones with your country's civil aviation authority before you fly.
