drh1010 Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Mega Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Once it expires it is no longer valid, ring your insurance company and ask them what their policy is in regards to expired licences, better to be sure than sorry.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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilotman Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 are they insisting on a medial certificate for renewal of the 2 year temporary licence for the 5 year permanent one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
