smedly Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 officially you need a cert of residency - 200bhat from immigration but I've also heard of people not needing it - up to u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTH Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) No need for photos, they are now taken at the LTO. If you’re going for both motorcycle and car bring two copies each of: Main page of passport. Visa/Permission to stay page of passport. Last entry stamp and TM card. Residence certificate, Work permit or Yellow Tabien Baan. Medical certificate, (sometimes required sometimes not). Also bring you passport along with your recent license(s). Note that you need to let your temporary license expire, before you can apply for the 5 year one. Edited February 1, 2012 by MTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that you have to wait until your 1-year provisional licence has expired before you can apply for a 5-year one. The procedure states that an applicant for a 5-year licence must have held a provisional licence for one year. There are no exceptions so the Road Traffic Office/Licencing Centre sticks to that.

smedly Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I understood you had up to 1 year after it expires to renew, I have car and bike licence and they expire at different times, I want to have them in sync and on my last visit to the office they just said to let the bike licence expire for 3 months then I could renew both at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3dave Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 well i got it yesterday, mth was right you need all that plus a photocopy of back and front of license, plus now you have to do the test again colour chart, depth perception (same way they used to test ww2 bomber pilots) and spacial awareness, then 360 bht lighter you get your license, took 4 hours and they wernt that busy, while your waiting go round the back and watch the thais do the driving test specially the parellel ? parking after 10 attempts it seems they still pass! its worth going just to watch. any way thanks for the advice.
