I don't understand why you cannot renew your 5 yr TDL just because you don't have for eg extensions from a Non O. However that's a Transport office "thing"

Assume you mean renew license while on eg visa exempt entry. You will be given a TDL with 2 yr validity

Love the comic relief. Online for me at CW has hardly ever been successful. I'm in shock that my last one was approved.

The OP will enter via Nong Khai tomorrow. @stephen tracy please update your upcoming experience. Will be very helpful.

Identification for WHAT? When would you not have your passport? If you are asking about hotel check in etc then state that. What do you mean " some entities require me to have driving license that is correct" What "entries" What are you asking? If you think TDL can get you into National Park etc you are wrong. Seriously don't understand any of your questions.

Has me confused. 90 report should have nothing to do with annual extensions. So here is a story... Nov 5 , i attended CW for 2 appointments. One for TM47 and one for annual extension. I went to 90 report first. In broken English the io told me obtain extension first. I only had 3 days till expiry and I needed extension for her to give renewal date 90 days after I do extension.

OP has correct answers. Thread closed

Of course not. What do you mean "change your driving licience" You can drive anywhere in Thailand with your TDL. When renewal is due you obtain COR and renew at Transport office where you live

Yes it does. You obtain COR where you live. File TM30, TM47 etc. Thread for obtaining COR Jomitien (good OP) https://aseannow.com/topic/1283077-certificate-of-residence-jomtien-immigration/ Question 2 same answer as Q1.. What are you trying to achieve. Your threads are not clear.

Does NOT matter. I received two COR from CW. First for 2 yr licience then another for 5 year renewal. My TDL has First-Middle-Surname. If it was Surname first then Fine. My current TDL has my old pp #. I renewed pp last year. Does it matter? No. Your TDL (with surname first) is A-OK

I wasn't up to date. Seems now it's acceptable. As usual perhaps not at all Transport offices.

Yes in this same thread I posted with link of recent 2024 report of obtaining TDL renewal with pink ID and yellow book. The saying ..."yes no yes" springs to mind

Most likely. You could consider report via mail. For report online and in person the 90 count starts from date of reporting. For report via mail the count starts from previous due date. If handy to Jomitien immigration office then wait till next report window is open and do it in person. (Best option) In meantime do nothing

No. You obtain COR at immigration offices. What's the issue in obtaining COR ? OP, I don't follow your thread. One minute you are concerned about order of Name on TDL. Now concerned about how to obtain a COR. What do you actually want? Obtaining a COR is easy process and as explained the order of you name on TDL is irrelevant.

So cut to the chase. You say that sometimes you wish to use your TDL for "identification" The order of your name means nothing. Some posts (including mine with link to same question) in summary = "don't worry about it" Seems to me you are running in circles over nothing.

Which immigration office

Give the border entry a go. Be polite. Remain calm. Have simple outline of plans. Have cash on you. Forget flight to Udon Thani. By all means check it out if you wish and then you could fly Udon to DMK after couple of nights. Good bar st in UT Just behind central plaza and that's where the minivans run to.

I wouldn't fly back. First up you will be first report of refusal after staying 2 nights in Laos. The io has put the wind up you. They love it. Where are you planning to stay in Thailand after reentry

I'm on your page.

Ignore that rubbish. I just answered your same question in other thread. https://aseannow.com/topic/1350870-how-many-border-runs/#findComment-19568091

Staying out of Thailand for 2 nights should be sufficient. Here is very recent thread of Nong Khai border bounce (not pleasant) Be aware they may even ask to see flight out of Thailand within 60 days and some details of accommodation in Thailand. Don't fly back to Thailand. If the flight thing is insisted on consider rent a ticket. eg "onwardticket.com" Please update forum

There is stamp and notation in pp and also includes the amount 2,000 There is no negative impact.

Just one person's opinion..... Given what's on your plate just skip the whole thing. Next time you have dealings with Buriram immigration do your 90 day report and cop the 2k fine. That could even be at time of next annual extension. Best of luck with the treatment.
