pennine Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Due to an oversight, I just realised that my one year International Driving Permit expired 2 weeks ago. I do have my valid South African driving licence. Can anyone advise me on the procedure for applying for a Thai driving licence and whether I should disclose my expired IDP?

Rooo Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Will I not be questioned about expired IDP? Just take it & see what happens. No one here can give you that answer, it is up to the LDT officer. sometimes your South African licence is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Rooo says ^ Somewhere written here, in this local forum, you'll find that an expired Thai License, is better replaced after it expires, than before, so I don't think it will be an issue.... just head over to Lipa Noi (near Raja ferry terminal. Turn left just a bit after Nikki Beach Resort....) and ask.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
