Renewal of driving licence

[geronimo]

Greeting all,

 

my Thai licence expired a few days ago, and when I go to renew it, do I need a letter of residency?

 

 

TIA

Depending on your location , Pattaya need residency certificate and medical certificate.

 

some reported no medical but I changed from 2 to 5 years and they wanted it .this was about 3-5 months ago

 

if using old WP , no need for residency but with new WP I am not sure

Last time I renewed in Issan, I had to sit in a room with 30 others , watch a video (90% got their mobiles out & started playing games) then do a reaction test ---how quickly I could stamp on the peddle when the light changes---that was after 20 + years of Thai driving licenses.

 

 I do wish they would ask the hopefuls--who has the right of way at a roundabout.....seems so difficult for Thais to work this one out.

 

Residency-- I always take my yellow book if I am going to any Gov Dept.

I don't have a yellow book, am on a multiple entry non imm visa.

You will have to get a residency certificate, assuming you do not have a work permit (with an address) that is.

My dear yellow friend. You need to get one and then they tell you that it wasn't needed. I've got a new horse for you. Best of luck, I truly hope you do not fail.

I am wondering if I can give power of attorney for my wife to get the letter of residency?
