Turning a 2 year temporary license into a full 5 year one?

Featured Replies

Not often that it goes the better of two ways for me, but, I got a 5 year licence with my Elite visa

It was a renewal of a 5 year licence previously obtained with a marriage visa

Go figure.....

    Yup, one of the pitfalls of the Elite visa !, seems ironic to me that someone who shells out a lump of cash for a 5 year visa should be labelled as a tourist .

    Quite simple. Wait until there is not more than 3 months validly on your temporary licence then make sure that you have one of the correct visas or extensions of stay, then renew the licence you will

    If one is on tourist visa, you only get 2 years temporary DL.   And the Elite visa is tourist one.     Am I correct or not ?

Dream on.

Of course you get a replacement for the lost temporary for a fee possibly.

Call yourself happy that they don't request a police report for the lost DL anymore (as far as I know).

 

When does your 2 year expire?

Do you leave Thailand and when?
