Marcel1 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Last year I got my first Thai driver license for the car and motorbike on the 1st of November. The first ones are valid for one year but today however, I found out that I forgot it. what is the best way to solve it and what do I need to do to extend it? do I have to go to the office in the morning or can I go anytime? I am in Bangkok. thanks for the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meechai Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) Your ok Here you let the one year expire. Then go in Take a color test & reaction time test & get a 5 year license Take the same things you took last time Passport Doctors paper ( 100 baht anywhere) Proof of address cert. ( Immigration free or your consulate which is fast but costs ) Your expired Thai licenses You will need some copies of certain pages of your passport but they do them there for a few baht Time is anytime they are open Edited December 14, 2013 by meechai 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMac Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 I got my expired 1 year license renewed into a 5 year one after more than one year, as I was not in the country. As so many things, it's up to the daily form, the weather and if he likes you or not. No hard rules. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DualSportBiker Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Mine was expired for over a year and I had to retake the theory exam, but not the practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I was thinking a month or so, nothing that extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gsxrnz Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yeah, I think officially you can drive for one month past expiry without getting a fine. As to the renewal process, it's probably up to the staff you deal with......smile a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
