Hi All,

Sorry to start a new topic but when I search on keywords like driver license or renewal no helpfull results are showing.

My question is: where I have to go for renewal of my driver license?

By the way today a friend (Thai) went with me and we ask many taxi drivers where to do but ended up driving around BKK for 3 hours without finding the correct place.

I live in Bangkorleam area.

Thanks for your help.

Kind regards,

Alex

If its a Thai drivers license then you just need to go back to the transport office after it expires and they will give you a shiney new (pink) 5 year one. Just take along copies of your passport/workpermit and the fee

If you do what i did, and go the day before your license expires they will only give you a 1 year one

My gf license never expires...well thats what she told me????

Hi Wolfie,

(Yes it is to renew Thai driver license).

Thanks for the reply but my question is : Where do I have to go to?

What do I tell the taxi driver Area, direction, street name something like that.

Kind regards and thanks for the help.

The lifetime licenses are no longer available.

The replacement is a 5 year one.

No work permit required, but a Non Immigrant Visa stamp is!!

PS, Your reply should be a sticky

I got my 5 years extention a couple of weeks ago in Khon Kaen - 550 baht. I was a bit worried as it was 4 months overdue - but no problem.

I have been to the one in Phrakonong, Bangkok - around Sukhumvit 91, In think.

There is also one, maybe the main one at Mo Chit.

To renew ours we needed a letter from the British embassy. 2000 baht EACH. When we got to the driving licence centre, our licences had four days to run so they gave us a one year one. We went back 3 weeks later and the woman made it run for 6 years

Don't forget your medical form too. We got a medical done and we weren't even present Still. T>I>T!

I had to show my work permit, but no medical on the renewal.

I used to get my medicals done in Bangkok without actually seeing the doctor.

There is a good place at Victory Monument that does them for 30 baht.
