Popular Post flare Posted March 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2019 You have a year's grace on an expired license to do a renewal- if it's expired over a year, you have to re-take some tests, but you won't have that issue.

You didn't write, if you have a 2-year or a 5-year licence now, but when you stayed here on a tourist visa you most likely only got a 2-year licence as renewal. These ones don't have a grace period, only the 5-year-ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songhklasid Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 yes, it's a 2 year licence, is that a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

songhklasid Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 I think it would be, I have done so in the past, although you do an eyesight test on day of renewal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
