Getting a 5 years license + international driver license with 2 years license


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I have a temporary 2-years driving license.

Can i now ( after a month ) just change this 2-years to a 5-years license, to get the international driver license? 

 

On the website from the land transport office, there are no information about when i can change the license.

Only that i can change a 2-years to a 5-year: https://www.dlt.go.th/en/two-year-license/

 

And the international driver license is only possible with the 5-years license: https://www.dlt.go.th/en/international-driving-licence/

 

Has anyone verified information about how to get the 5-years license?

Go the DLT office where you got your DL and ask them.

If only a month into a 2 year DL I doubt they will do it if you only had a month left on it they would do it.

It would also depend on with which visa/extension the OP is staying in Thailand. With tourist or elite visa, no 5-year license, for that extension of stay or non-immigrant visa is required.

If you want to say that your 2 year license is just one month old: no way.

You have to wait until the 2 year license period has nearly expired (i.e. wait 2 years). After that, if you have the correct visa/extension of stay you can upgrade to a 5 year license.

 

Think about it: There would be no point issuing a 2 year license if you could immediately upgrade it to a 5 year license.
