6. Can I buy a short period of insurance to fit my vacation duration in Thailand?

No, you cannot. CAAT requires drone insurance coverage for 1 full year. Short-term insurance is not accepted. The CAAT certificate is valid for 2 years, but it must be accompanied by continuously valid insurance each year.

7. How Long are the CAAT and NBTC Certificates Valid for Drone Operations in Thailand?

CAAT Certificate: Valid for 2 years from the date of issue. NBTC Certificate: Valid only while you are in Thailand. It becomes void when you leave the country.

8. Can I Start Flying My Drone in Thailand Immediately After Registration?

Yes. Once your CAAT and NBTC certifications are issued digitally, you are legally allowed to fly in Thailand.

9. What Happens to My NBTC Certification if I Leave Thailand and Return with My Drone?

Our support team is available to assist at every stage. Reach out through our contact details for guidance on compliance, certifications, and any other questions to ensure a smooth experience with Thailand Drone Insurance And Registration Services

10. Can I Start Flying My Drone in Thailand Immediately After Registration?

Your NBTC registration becomes invalid upon departure, as immigration records your exit. You must reapply when you return.

11. My DJI Neo does not require a remote controller. How do I fill in the NBTC form for the remote serial number?

You can enter the drone’s serial number again in place of the remote controller’s serial number. NBTC accepts this for drones without remotes.

Can I Fly My Drone in Thailand’s National Parks with CAAT and NBTC Certification?

Not by default. Even with CAAT and NBTC approval, national parks are restricted zones. You must apply separately for permission from park authorities.

13. What if I Have Questions During the Registration Process?

You can contact us anytime during the process. Our support team is available via email and WhatsApp to assist you from start to finish.

14. How Can I Check No-Fly Zones Across Thailand?

All no-fly zones in Thailand are defined and published by the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT) in the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP), Section ENR 5.1, 2566 edition. These zones include areas designated with VT prefixes: VTR – Restricted or controlled areas VTD – Danger zones, such as military exercise areas VTP – Prohibited zones, often related to national security or military facilities These zones cover sensitive locations such as airports, military bases, government facilities, and other critical areas. To check current restrictions: Visit the CAAT eAIP portal: https://aip.caat.or.th Or access the ENR 5.1 section directly: https://aip.caat.or.th/2020-11-05-AIRAC/html/eAIP/VT-ENR-5.1-en-GB.html You may also use third-party airspace apps that include CAAT zone overlays, such as Altitude Angel or AirMap. However, always verify with official CAAT publications before flying. Important: To fly in any VTR, VTD, or VTP zone, you must apply for prior permission from the relevant authority (e.g., military, aviation, or security agency) and obtain final approval from CAAT. Unauthorized operations in these zones are strictly prohibited and may result in legal penalties. Always stay informed with the latest CAAT updates to ensure safe and lawful drone operations in Thailand.
