She insists that because she lives six months a yearin Europe her European driving licence is OK. I have my doubts and worry if she is involved in an accident the insurance won't cover her. I know there are no hard-and-fast rules about ANYTHING regarding these matters but is she correct? European ???.... IF her EU driving licence is not in English, then she would require an International Driving Permit to accompany her ‘European’ driving licence. That said, to remove all doubt and as she is here 6 months of the year she really should be driving on a Thai Licence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They count the years before expiry based on full years. For example, if your birthday is in September and you get your licence in December, it will not expire until September 2026. That only aply for the 5-year license, not for the first time 2-year license 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you can renew it for a 5 year licence as they will be running almost consecutively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
