baggies666 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hello, I have the 1 year temporary licence which runs out Feb next, when is the earliest possible time I can extend to the 5 year one in Phuket? I did a little search but nothing recent and with things changing so fast here hoped someone had recent information. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopitiam Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 You have to wait until your current 1-yr license has expired before you can renew it. You can renew it within 1 year from expiry date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm not 100% sure on this, but, you maybe able to renew it up to one month before it expires. Best go ask at the licensing place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is officially up to 2 months (or 60 days) in advance. But yes, there will be local differences, so best to ask them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggies666 Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 I will be in town again on tuesday will check then for current rules thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakaty Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I will be in town again on tuesday will check then for current rules thanks I would be grateful if you could post what you find out. I'm flying out on Feb. 1 and my 5 year licenses are going to expire at the end of Feb. I would like to be able to renew them before I leave so I can rent a car at the airport when I return in April. And why can't they put car and motorcycle on the same license? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakaty Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) baggies666, did you ever find out about how early you can renew licenses? Or does anyone else know? Edited December 2, 2014 by Pakaty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baggies666 Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share Posted December 2, 2014 Sorry I forgot, in Phuket I was told 2 months so going to sort out my paperwork to do the renewal early, I just complicated things as lost my car licence part so have to go police station now as only have scooter licence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewsterbudgen Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I was told that if you renew a 1 year licence before it expires you get another 1 year licence, not 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the update. Sounds like I can renew before I travel. Sorry you lost your car license. That's a good argument for issuing two separate licenses though.
