The problem

Why drone registration in Thailand confuses most tourists.

"Well it's Thailand, how hard could it be?" — until you meet Thai bureaucracy.

01

Two authorities, two systems

You must register with both CAAT and NBTC. Separate platforms, different requirements, different processing times.

02

Thai phone number required

CAAT now requires a Thai SIM for SMS verification. Most tourists don't have one — and the registration cannot proceed without it.

03

Rules change constantly

Procedures shift quietly. Incomplete applications delay approval and burn through your valuable flying days.

The solution

We simplify the entire process.

We handle CAAT and NBTC registration, manage the required phone verification, and guide you through every step — including the UAS Portal flight announcement.

Parts of the process can be completed before you even enter Thailand — so you can start flying as soon as possible after arrival.

FAQ

Everything you need to know.

Do I really need to register my drone in Thailand?+

Yes. If you want to fly your drone with a camera in Thailand, it must be registered with both CAAT and NBTC before flying legally.

What registrations are required?+

Two separate ones: CAAT (Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand) and NBTC (telecommunication registration).

How long does the drone registration take?+

CAAT is often completed within 24 hours once documents are correct. NBTC typically takes 1–3 business days. With our service, the CAAT part can be completed before entering Thailand.

Do I need a Thai phone number?+

Yes — CAAT now requires a Thai phone number for verification. Most tourists don't have or want one. We handle the required Thai SMS/phone verification for you.

Can I complete registration before arriving?+

If you already have a Thai phone number, or use our service, the CAAT can be completed before arrival. NBTC can only be done after arrival.

Is drone insurance mandatory?+

Yes. Valid third-party liability insurance is required, with a minimum of 1,000,000 THB coverage. We can arrange the necessary insurance.

Can I fly in Thai national parks?+

Yes, but you need a permit from the national park. We assist with applying for them.

What documents are required?+

Passport copy, photo of drone, drone & controller serial numbers, insurance certificate, and a sales invoice (if the drone was bought in Thailand).
