Just as ancient structures stood on strength and balance, responsible drone flight in Thailand rests on five core principles — connecting pilots, laws, and awareness into one disciplined ecosystem.

Note:
Visitors cannot complete all registrations before arriving in Thailand. Both NBTC and CAAT require your immigration entry stamp to confirm your location, along with a valid Thai address and local SIM number.


This verification process typically takes 2–3 business days after arrival — there are no shortcuts or same-day approvals.

This note covers registration and licensing to fly legally. However, keep in mind that each flight still requires individual approval.


See the “How to Get Approval Before Every Flight” guide in the UAS Portal section for step-by-step details.
