Driving Licence Renewal In Pattaya

[Phil Clark]

My Thai Driving Licences expire next week.

Having just searched, posts confirm that you can get a five year licence provided you apply after your old annual licences have expired.

However, two of the accounts by members who had successfully applied for Five Year Licences at the centre on the Rayong by-pass were inconsistent as regards what paperwork is required.

One said that he did not need a certificate of residence yet the other said he did. That could well be because the latter just handed the papers over, but perhaps not.

I can of course get one (two) if needed, but if I do not need to go through the hassle that would be a bonus.

That said, the last thing I want to do is trek up the Rayong by-pass only to be told I need both Medical and Residence Certificates.

Has anyone from the Pattaya area applied for renewal recently and therefore knows what is required?

Thanks for any up to date info.

This was for a 5 year license and they actualy gave me 6 years and 1 week from todays date. There was no requirement for a medical certificate.
