Driving Licence Questions

[Longbow212]

Hi All,

I looked around on the forums but couldn't find specific answers I wanted.

I have a temporary (1 year) car driving licence that is expired. I would like to get the renewed and if possible updated to a 5 year licence. Please advice what the procedure is and what docs I need.

Also, I am considering getting a motorbike licence, what is the procedure for this and can it be combined with the car licence??

Thanks for the advice.

I didnt have the international licence at the time and my australian one was expired, so i got the one year licence and needed to sit the exam and drivers test when it expired the following year but was then given the 5yr licence. Shame i didnt get a licence when they still offered the non expiration lifetime licences for bikes, a mate has one.

edit: the doctors medical check is a good laugh, literally a stethoscope to the chest to assess whether you are alive and that was it!

Go to the DLT where you got your old 1 year license taking the same paperwork and photos that you took to get the 5 year license.

You must have had a valid license from your own country to get the first 1year license, and if you have motorcycle entitlement you get a separate license for that, filling out similar forms as for the car.

Some DLT's make you do a colour test and a reaction braking test, nothing to worry about just get along and do it.

I have no bike licence from home, only a car licence. What is the procedure for taking the bike test?

I got my MB DL 6 years ago, and I have never driven a MB!!, when I applied for the car license, they asked if I would like a MB license as well, so I said ok!

You little devil you.

If your lucky like ForkHads OK !! It does differ in DLT's from province to province how things are done but if not, our nephew did his a couple of weeks back, he watch a video, study the road signs took a written test and did a practical test around a circuit at the DLT, it was easy peasey.

You might need help with the written test if they do not have an English translated one, so take a Thai friend and some baht dosh maybe for a favour ( wink/wink ).
