Brunus Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hi In a few months I will have to renew my Thai driving license. When I did it I was on a Non B, while now I have a 1 year non O multi entry from KL based on marriage. My question is: can I renew my driving license with this kind of visa? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotlost Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yes. Some LTD's will give you a 5 year but some LTD's will only give you a one year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
challenger99 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Yes, show visa (copy of passport main page and visa page) and get confirmation of your living address issued by the immigration plus a medical certificate fm your doctor or hospital. All give 5 years it mean until your birthday. I was lucky ... I went in January and I got 5 years and 11 month bc. born in december!

Brunus Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Thank you guys What do I have to do in order to get confirmation of my living address? I just go to immigration with my passport and tell them where I live or do they want to see some other documents? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 You may have to use your Embassy for letter as immigration offices after require you to be doing 90 day address reports (on extension of stay) to issue such a document. But you can ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Immigration may issue if you can show some kind of lease or rental agreement. Otherwise it means a trip to your Embassy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPGumbypgh Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 You need copies of all visa related pages, info page, departure card, your rental agreement and something with your address in Thai. Fill in form for residence certificate and take along two passport size pictures. Do not forget to sign all of the copies. Take extra photos if you need motorcycle and car driving license as you will need two certificates. Cost 200 baht per certificate. I had to return next day to pick up the completed certificates but as I had forgotten something I dont't know if they will prepare them as you wait or not.
