Residency certificate and renewing 5 year Thai DLs at Pranburi (Hua Hin)

[TSF]

 In a couple weeks I'll be renewing my 5-year Thailand car & mc licences at Pranburi?

 

As I need 2 complete sets of documents for each licence, do you need 2 original residency certificates from HH Immigration? Or can you have 1 original and make a copy? 

 

Anything else anyone can tell me about doing the renewals at Pranburi would be very helpful.

You'll need 2 originals and will politely be charged 500 baht for each

1 set (original) and 1 copy  is enough, they will accept it, 100% because i did the same 2 months ago in petchaburi dlt ?

Because you did it 2 months ago at Petchaburi you know 100% that it is like this in Prachuap Khiri Khan as well? ?

 

In the end it depends on the DLT, they all have their own rules, so just call your local DLT and ask.

I actually did that but was none the wiser at the end of the conversation, the confusion was over the word "copy". Like I need 2 copies of the res' cert' because I'm doing 2 licences, but one copy will be a copy (as in photocopy). There's 2 different meanings of the word "copy" and I couldn't get a definite answer from her. 

 

I'll get my Thai wife to phone Pranburi again and see if she can get an answer. Obviously I don't want to pay for 2 originals (1000 Bt) if only 1 original is OK. Nor do I want to roll up at Pranburi with only 1 original and have to drive all the way back to Hua Hin Imm to get a 2nd original.

In Pranburi 3 years ago they asked for 2 originals. Times may have changed. Wouldn't bank on different DLTs being the same

Politely refuse to pay, this is a free service. I did it in Khon Kaen and asked to see the boss, and refused to pay(politely). The boss did it between on about 5 minutes. If they insist, call the immigration hotline.

500, not bad, my IO charges 1500.

 

No medical certificate required when renewing a 5 year?

No med cert needed for the 5 year renewal.

Med cert was required for my 2-year (on tourist visa) motorcycle licence renewal.  Done at Phuket City DLT two weeks ago.

As far as I know it is now needed for every application. They changed the requirements last year.

Ta,

 

I'll pop in at my local DLT tomorrow (just down the road)  show 'em my 2 plastics about to expire and ask what I need

for renewal, funny country this, DLTs have quite different ideas about the same things.

OK, med cert. Apparently it wasn't required in the past for 5-year renewals, but if the regulations recently changed then perhaps it is now. I'll have my wife ask Pranburi about that when she'll call them soon regarding the residency certs.

[TSF]

My wife phoned Pranburi DLT this morning. No med cert needed for renewing a 5-year licence, but need 2 original sets of residency certs from imm. Plus, of course, 2 sets of copies of passport pages, plus the expired licences.
