xoxman Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I've just extended my driving licence for the 3rd time on a tourist visa and they gave me 2 years. Is this common or am I just lucky ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMBob Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Never heard of it so, presuming the expiration date is March of 2017 (that part isn't shown), consider yourself lucky. (Up to you but next time maybe do a better job of concealing the personal information and re-sizing the photo a bit smaller?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMMCB Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 They give you until your next birthday after 1 year, I think, or is that only for the 5-year licences? Maybe just a timing bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinLOS Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Its up to your birthday.. Hence you do it before your Birthday you get the year.. After you get year plus x months.. With my 5 years I was always careful to get almost 6.. The change is it used to be you did the 1 year then got the 5 year, but now they are renewing more 1 years with 1 years due to visa classes, before they didnt seem to care, I got my first 5 year on either a short stay visa or even 30 day stamp.

dickyknee Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Its up to your birthday.. Hence you do it before your Birthday you get the year.. After you get year plus x months.. not what happened, I got a solid 2 years March 2015 to March 2017. My birthday is not March, far from it.

Siamesecarper Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Just received my first Thai driving licence yesterday at Phu Khieo DLT office in Chaiyaphum province and was given exactly 2 years validity and not the 1 year I was expecting. Maybe there is a new policy being implemented without being broadcast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dickyknee Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Seems strange.... Thai's doing themselves outta money.. ?? Tourist visa = 1 year.. But TiT Have you seen the queue for people doing the renewal, and the overtime the staff are putting in to process them? It is actually almost logical... If that's the strange part. Btw, some of us have a 5 year tourist visa... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
