Certificate of Residence (Drivers Licence) - Jomtien Immigration

Featured Replies

I'm on a DTV which gives me 180 days in the country. I will be looking to renew my 2 year motorbike licence for another 2 years later in the year. Since I need a Certificate of Residence from Jomtien Immigration, do they require your rental contract or your passport stamp date to have a minimum amount of months left to issue this?

 

What is the maximum time frame you can renew a 2 year licence before the expiry date of the licence?

3 months.

Same like 5yr to 5yr.

The only problem is, if you renew it too early you end up missing out on a few months of your licence which sucks as on a DTV they only give 2 year renewals. Eg, licence expires 1st December and you renew 1st September, your new licence starts on 1st September.

Was wrong here. Seems this would be up to 6 months ahead.

Indeed. 2 yr is always from date of application different from 5 yr which is aligned/ends on your birthday.

What do I need to do to get a 5-year license instead of a 2-year one?

You need to have had a two year (provisional) licence  first

then hold a 'long term visa'  when applying for the 5 year.

Everything else the same  I think.

Yes

Was there yesterday for the same reason..

Copy passport (data page,entry stamp,categories of visa and visa

Lease agreement

Here is an idea, last year I thought I lost my wallet looked everywhere. I ended up going to relevant police station filed a report no cost, they gave me a letter so I can obtain a new one! 

This was in June and my licenses just happen to expire in November, can't remember if I needed a residential. One can go to office agent on Soi Post office 500 baht get one for you.  I'm the type that make copies of stuff and had copies of my licences. I went up to office told and show them what happened given lady looked at copy said instead of replace you want to renewal now ok, gave me a website to watch video, appointment , and noted required paperwork. Week later showed up when upstairs 1 hour I was out with new licences.

Did your rental contract and/or passport stamp need a minimum time frame prior to contract end date/passport stamp end date for them to issue the Certificate of Residence?
