papa al Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) One plane ticket should suffice. Depends. Edited October 7, 2015 by papa al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveAustin Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Lol. Only doable onshore... but you realise you've got up to something like a year after expiry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeSully Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Lol. Only doable onshore... but you realise you've got up to something like a year after expiry? We didn't know that. That might actually be helpful! They really don't want to do the 30 questions again and it's now something like 60 questions. Really anti- wasting time.. not that I blame them!

MadMac Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 There is a 1 year grace period to renew after expiry. Some say 90 days. Not sure what the current status is. I renewed my 1 year to 5 years more than a year after it was expired as I was not in TH. But that was 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By they you probably mean your wife and her kid? Considering how Thai people drive, it may actually be a good idea to have them go through all the 60 questions and more, I think it should be mandatory for everyone since they reworked the licensing a little.

Throttled Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I recently renewed my Thai license- it was a one-year that had been expired for about eight months- I was required to take an on-sight color-blindness test, and to provide a medical certificate and a proof-of-residency certificate. I wasn't required to take a written test or watch a video, and I received a five-year license- the fact my original license had expired was no issue at all. Your experience may of course vary.

speedtripler Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I remember reading before that in future there will be a test to renew licences, but not sure if they are doing it or just thought about doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VocalNeal Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Even if it does expire the test is easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooloomooloo Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Lol. Only doable onshore... but you realise you've got up to something like a year after expiry? I believe it six months max. Or take test again if licence elapses after this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
