Also the renewal would be due on your birthday, go the next day after your birthday and you will get 6 years instead of 5

got 5 years and expire date is my birthday

get the termination letter form the school. the last day on it is your last day dont forget. 

get your work permit to the labor office and cancel it, with the termination letter. 

then go to the immigration with the termination letter.

UPDATE:

so i checked the nonthaburi land and transport office website to watch the video and also do the online booking. It seems the booking is full for the next 3 months. Watched the video for 1 hour. Saved the qr code showing i watched it.

Today i went there in the morning. 2 lines; for the people who has queue and for the ones dont have. I got into that one. They started to take the queue one first at 8.15am after waiting probably an hour it was our turn no queue. 

Now while waiting in the queue some stuff gave people a qr code to watch the video to save time. 

When inside if you watched the video they give you white/brownish queue number. And it will be your turn after theu are done with the queue ones. Everything happenning inside is in thai. So follow things good if you cannot understand.

Then you go to document check and then some visual test: color, colors on the right and left (this one is tricky because the machine designed for asians and when you put your face into the machine you cannot see the colors at all. Your head is too big. And the last one is braking test. 

Then taking your photo and thats it. I would say after opening doors... everything finished in 2.30 hours.

Stuff is very helpful. Cannot speak english but really helpful. 

There was this farang having some document problems. I dont know the problem but he was shouting to stuff and asking for the big boss.. dont know how it ended. 

Things are so easy.

Unfortunately that does not apply for the 2 year temporary license.

It's exactly 2 years from date of issue.

 

DLT "e-learning" is recommended.

Results in a "certificate" to be printed or shown as QR code on the smartphone.

Then no video watching at the office.

Only physical tests (eye, reaction).

3BB has been acquired by AIS has it not?

I dont know. But it doesnt matter because 3bb is not a phone based company

this is something i dont understand.. i dont mean you. but ToT is a telephone or communication company. like AIS or True and other phone companies.. they are not internet companies. you guys need to understand that these are phone companies... now 3bb on the other hand is internet based and focused company. so i suggest you to go and get 3bb TODAY!

im using 3bb for 17 years... i really think its the best internet in thailand. im paying 900 (something like that) for 1GB internet which is double time of your speed... its service is great... all fixing is free if you have any problems..  

i have people (and really a lot!) in my village where im living keep complaining about True or AIS internet... i have NON!!! since 17 years... 

PS: now you mentioned that you forgot to ask the builder to make an internet connection for the house. probably you are talking about LAN connection to all houses with a connection like phone line.. well if you already forgot to mention that.. its too late unless if you dont want to re-build some walls again to your new house...

I've only ever used residency certificates in English and had no problems. This includes 3 drivers license trips (original, and two renewals since). 

 

Off topic, do these things still require pre booking? 

Hi

Thanks for the info so that means i can use my english residency.. great.

What about watching that boring video for an hour? Still have to watch?

Well, by pre booking if you mean cannot do the license in the same day... yes. 

When you are there its already crowded and they will give you 2 or 3days later option.

Hi

My 2 year driving license will expire in april and i want to renew it with a 5 year one. I will go to transport authority of thailand in bangkok (i probably wrote its name wrong).

So i got my residency certificate from my embassy (my embassy because nonthaburi immigration dont give residency certificate anymore To anyone). But of course for some stupid reason its in english (dont and cannot understand why its not in thai, this is thailand and i think its so stupid not to do certain documents in thai).

So my question is do i have to translate it into thai and go to the minister of foreign affairs and get a stamp from there? Or by some miracle transport office (place doing the license) will know what its and accept it.

Thanks

You can buy them in paper-shops, that kind of stores normally have all the standard Thai contracts to be filled in. They are of course in Thai language, which is the only legal language for agreements – i.e. if a contract is in both English and Thai, it's only the Thai part that is legally binding.

thanks for the info

Some advice and a link in this attached thread.

 

https://aseannow.com/topic/964727-rental-contract-form/

Thank you

im sorry if this is not the right place so if its not any moderator please move it to the right section. thank you

so i need a simple land lease contract (renting house) in thai. if anyone know where to download one please post.

thank you

its up to that you will come back or not.

both options i dont understand why you just dont cancel it in a proper way. just being lazy for a 10min thing to do?

if you will come back, yes it will haunt you in many ways.. visa, new work permit, tax, etc.. if really not come back its totally up to your working place. they can sue you internationally. but its like 1 in a million situation.

if you leave thailand via land cross, most likely they will not let you go without a job termination letter. happened to my friends. but many people say no problem if you fly.

suggestion: if there is no problem (sounds like there is because you just want to go away) do the things in correct way. 

this is what happened to me:

i bought a pc game for someone using stream (its a game platform) using my debit card. well there was a problem and i asked for refund. Stream platform did the refund but i had nothing back in the bank account so i contacted to the bank. they told me i need to send them the order and refund email or any document showing the refund. I did. they paid the money back in a week

so i suggest you to contact with the hotel and get a refund paper. and give it to the bank. 

suggestion: you paid using debit card. Also paid in cash. So just email to the hotel with the screenshot of debit card charge and your receipt paid cash. and give them your bank account. they will do the refund in a week too. thats better.  

nonthaburi IO

no booking. go early you will finish in 1-2 hrs

Im at the nonthaburi immigration. They just told me they dont do residency anymore and must go to my embassy. This is for all nationals. She told me this is for 1 year like this already....

And this was at Nonthaburi? 

Yes, actually i just asked one of my friends who got his residency from nonthaburi IO. He told me exact same thing. He told the IO if he can get it the same day and IO told him yes for 1000 baht. He got it in 30 min

The one stop is related to BOI.

If you live in Thailand on for example retirement extensions you need to attend immigration office.

 

 

Thanks... well i will post an update on monday

I get my CORs from 1 stop. Whole process takes 200 Baht and about 1 hour to have the COR in hand and out the door.

Which 1 stop did you use? My tm30 is in nonthaburi. Not bangkok

i think all of the questions' answer is in some questions: are you happy making love with your wife? She and you can full fill each other's fantasies? are you ready to have a wife? are you a sex addict? Instead of masturbating.. can your wife do the handjob? your marriage based on sex or love or both?

Please report back your experience.

 

At CW it's 200b and no option for same day service.

It's mail out and can take 1-2 weeks.

 

May not be an issue as might take you that long to get appointment at Transport office for your TDL Renewal.

 

I'm also doing mine soon and you may like to check out motor forum.

There is online test you can do. 

thanks for the info

 im going to IO this Monday and i will post what happened here again. 

i didnt know i have to take a test. when i was doing my 2 year license they only took my driving license from my hometown and that was enough. Ohh and i had to watch some video for 1 hour of a 3 hour video with another 100 people who had no idea what they were watching. So probably they will ask me to watch a video again about 1 hour while they are preparing the license. well if they ask me to take a test, its ok can do there. But i will surely check motor forum as your suggestion. Transport office usually gives appointment in 2-3 days. Was like that last time.

I think CW takes longer because covers more area than Nonthaburi IO so 2 weeks makes sense. 

anyway i will post here again on monday.

I was told 2 weeks, I needed it the same day so paid, I think 1000 Baht, took about 30 minutes after that

thank you

did they ask you if you want it the same day or you asked them/told them ?

and what about paying 500 baht and get it the same day thing? is it real?

or have to wait 1 week and they will post me?
