Lost Thai Driving Licenses (the Answer)

[Jonathanpattaya]

I made a post yesterday asking for advice on what to do to replace my stolen driving licenses.

The response was disappointing however I now have the answer having done the necessary today and I thought it might be useful for others who find themselves in the same position as I did.

The requirements are simply:

1. Police report (obviously).

2. Photocopies of passport title page, visa page AND entry stamp plus departure card if you are holding tourist or non immigrant "O" visas OR receipt of notification if you are holding retirement or marriage visas.

3. The fee payable for each license is 205 Baht.

I arrived at 1 p.m. (just as lunch time was finishing) as the mornings are when everyone turns up early and is always busy. There was a lady at the entrance doorway gave me two forms (one for each license). As soon as I had completed these I went back to her and she gave me a queuing number. I went upstairs (which was chock-a-block from the morning rush) and I was walking out with two new licenses 45 minutes later.

I hope this helps someone.
