Need to renew 5 year driving license

[KarenBravo]

I don't drive cars, so, my license is just for a motorbike.

I only remember one of the questions as it sticks in my mind for it's stupidity.

In the motorcycle test:-

When finished parking your car, how far should the wheels be away from the curb?

a. 15 cm

b. 20 cm

c. 25 cm

So far i know the written test is not required for renewing a 5 year DL.

I was there tuesday as i said, i asked about renewing my 5 year license ( she looked at it)

Back in 1988 i got my 1st thai license an had to do a written test, the test was only in Thai, i told her i cant read Thai so she marked all the correct answers and than i inked them in,

I had a valid us license

U need be there at 9 am , sit for the video than test

everyone

whatever was before does NOT apply now

Sure, keep it up. This has not changed in at least 10 years now.

No, if no WP you don't need copy of lease or landlord's ID or copy tambien baan but residence certificate or yellow housebook.

Guys

i also need to renew my 5 year license in august 2015.

i heard they were only issuing now 1 year.

but a friend of mine who lived here for about same period of time went to Phuket License department to renew. they said 1 year and he asked and argued for 5 years as he lives here all the time.

they eventually gave him a new 5 year license..

has anyone also been told 1 year or are others also getting 5 year renewals.

many thanks ..

5 years renewal are possible provided on extension of stay. If on tourist visa or visa exempt only 1 year.

5 years also on non'o' 1 year multiple entries visa.

Yes, correct, on any 1 year visa, does not have to be multiple entry.

Basically: on extension of stay or long term visa: long term DL, on short term stay: short term DL.
