DLT Phuket - Licence Renewal Process

[gravity101]

Anyone renew their driving licence at the Phuket office recently? I was told to go with required docs and the proof of e-learning. I duly went and the lady at the counter seemed very angry, and asked me, have I booked an appointment. I said I was told I just to come down for photo and get a new DL, and anyway the Queue app is fully booked all year and next year (I suspect its been closed(blocked out) in reality for Phuket. PN has some slots for the end of July.). She then said, come tomorrow, not sure what or why she said that. Anyone know the current process for renewal?  TIA

Yes, appointment online.

If the lady said 'come tomorrow ' i would trust that.

go at 7:30 , line up in front of the door on the left side , ( dont sit down and wait) 
make sure you have completed the online test and have all ur docs in order

I was there a couple of months ago for my renewal. I walked in and showed them: 

• Original five-years thai driving license
• Passport with copies of the detail and visa stamps
• Certificate of Residence
• Medical certificate
• e-Learning QR showing I completed it

The docs were reviewed and I was given a slip of paper showing the date and time to return to take the reaction and traffic light tests. That date was about a 3 or 4 weeks later. I went on the assigned day to take those two tests and got my license. 

 

I did create an an account the the DLT Smart Queue app and like you found, every date showed full. I just logged an looked today and it's the same - all dates for Phuket are full for all of 2025.
