Bengt Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I got Thai driving licence since some years, one of the requirements was that I need a NON Immigrant visa, I wonder what will happen if I by some reason loose my NON-O visa and enter the Kingdom at a visa exempt,vill my driving licence be unvalid? Thankful for answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I believe your only problem will be when you come to renew it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 If you have a valid Thai driver's liscense, it will be valid not matter what type of visa you have, even visa exempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beano2274 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Renewing could be a problem that is all. It is still valid until it expires so no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is right. It has nothing to do with visa etc. Also as the next poster stated that "Renewing it might be a problem" you are only assuming and do NOT know. I will confirm that to renew it is NO problems what so ever. Even if your visa has gone back down to a Tourist visa with only 4 days left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which of course is dependent upon which Land Transport Office you use, and since you need a residence permit form, issued by Immigration that is going to be your first stumbling block since most Immigration offices will not issue said form for a tourist visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Below is a partial quote from the Pattaya Expat Club Thai driving license webpage. Link (note4) A 5yr licence will only be issued to a foreigner if you have a Non-Immigrant visa in your passport, or hold a Residence Permit. A 1yr licence is issued using any kind of visa or entry permit, and may be renewed (for 1 year) if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWMcMurray Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 If the Amphur will not issue a residence permit, they can always go to their embassy to get the appropriate residence form. The cost may be higher, but I don't think the embassy will care about his visa status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
