Import and Registration Requirements
Drones may be brought into Thailand but cannot be operated legally until registered with both the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) and the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand (CAAT).
The NBTC handles drone ownership and radio frequency registration via anyregis.nbtc.go.th. CAAT manages registration for both the drone and its operator and issues the required drone pilot certificate via the UAS Portal: uasportal.caat.or.th.
Registration with a single agency alone is insufficient. Both NBTC and CAAT registration are mandatory for the legal operation of drones.
