Driving licence renewal during COVID

[drh1010]

My Thai driving licence expires soon. Am I right in thinking that it will remain valid (even after it expires) for 15 days following the announcement that the Emergency Decree is over, whenever that may be?

Would my insurance still be valid during this time, even if my licence has expired? Any up to date info would be much appreciated as I would rather not go to the transport office during this time if I can help it.

Once it expires it is no longer valid, ring your insurance company and ask them what their policy is in regards to expired licences, better to be sure than sorry.

 

Pattaya DLT (banglamung) re-opens on the 7th for licence renewals and the like, check your local one to see if they re-open as well.

are they insisting on a medial certificate for renewal of the 2 year temporary licence for the 5 year permanent one?

I was under the impression that it remains valid

Go to the nearest office concerning your requirement and ask. PPE and all use 2 legs and arms to be slightly more active and positive outlooks

The Transport Agency have announced that anyone with a Thai Licence expiring after the 2nd January 2020 will be covered under an amnesty agreed with the Thai Police until after the lockdown/curfew has been lifted

This story is out of date. Licenses that have expired since January 2 are all extended until the emergency decree ends. Insurance remains valid. A new story will be in the newsletter this afternoon.

As I have stated in the referred and other threads.

Short lived idea.
