I have no pink card or yellow book but renewed my 2 year driving license with a 5 year driving license with my TE visa last November in Chonburi. The TE statement "a foreigner could obtain or renew 5 year license if he/she hold Non-Immigrant visa(Working visa) and a work permit" would mean that you need a working visa for a 5 year driving license. This does not make sense or would make many people quite unhappy.

Happy with my Elite Easy Access, which was not hindering me to marry and obtain 5 year driving licenses, but in 17 years I will probably switch to LTR.

I need an "international driving" (permit) based on my 5 year Thai driving licenses. DLT Banglamung told me that I have to go to DLT Chonburi. I am not keen on driving from Sattahip to Chonburi. As per DLT website, you do not need to go personally, but can enclose an "authorise letter with fee stamp 10 bahts". If this means that you can mail the original passport, original driver's licenses and other requested documents, how safe is this to do and what would be the specific address? Would it not be better to have an agent going to DLT Chonburi for me? Do you know a reliable agent performing this service?
