There is a big, bold header at the top of the page that gives all the relevant info about obtaining and renewing a Thai drivers licence, but it seems that's too hard to read and some people need their hands held. It wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't someone asking exactly the same questions at least every week. BTW if I want to know the highest mountain in Russia, I Google it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are so superior are you not---The poster may not be as STUPID as you think--just thought of connecting with other forum posters. Easy man --enjoy the forum. Maybe it would be better if we did not have a forum and just had a site that gives details of all we want to know.

shaurene Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I renewed mine end last year. you need to go to a local doctor. And get the drivers health certificate. He checks your chest, BP and asked you if you have any problems. Cost around 120Bt. You need copy your passport, main page and visa stamp and passport photo. This is in Khon Kaen, I think they all have their own rules. Hope this helpd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a big, bold, Thai Drivers Licence Checklist at the top of the page. https://www.dlt.go.th/en/renew-license/ The problem with this link is that although it brings you to the page headed "renew driver's license", right below it says"In case of foreigner, temporary(two year) driver license" It shows the documentation necessary to obtain your first Thai license, not to renew your current license. You don't need a copy of your IDP or license from back home to renew your current Thai license. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogbrush Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Yes, the link to the Thai Gov site is mis-titled; it states “Thai license renewal “ but deals only with the issue of the provisional 2 year license. (surely some red faces from the ‘for God’s sake/need your hand held’ posters at the beginning of this stream...) The jury seems out in whether a certificate of residence is required from Immigration (photo plus around 600 baht in Phuket, but meant to be free, I think) or does the slip of paper stapled in my passport stating I have notified Immigration of my address, suffice. My concern with the slip of paper is whether it has an “expiry date” - it’s all in Thai - or whether a photocopy of that will be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ54 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I enjoy reading the forum that helps inform and keep you up to date on changes. I will admit I’m lazy at times and don’t use the search option as often as I should. One positive if someone asks about previously posted it refreshes others memory. I’ve a Thai DL and it reminded me to check expiration. Score: 1 to 1 both sides made valid comments Ok I’m newmember and probably used search a couple of times in a few months. Just now I tried search Thai Drivers License - search did not find I looked on the bar at top didn’t see drivers license. See attached When I get the ThaiVisa email I go to the posted topics of day not to home screen. Suggestions on where I should be looking. Thanks!

Max66 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) Yeah ...i need to renew mine in July. And what's needed can change every 6 months. From what I see as of Feb. 2018 Photo copies of PP info. Photo copy of license front and back Two medical certificates from a clinic or hospital Residency certificate Fee. This is CM information. From what I see since this will be my first renewal and the previous was a two year , I think I'll be applying for the 5 year. I'l be going to the place to see exactly what they'll want and post it.
