Yesterday renewed DL. Came to the overcrowded office at 08.45 and left at 10.00.
2 weeks ago i informed at the office what papers I would need . The woman told : 2 old DL,copy passport from photo and visa page, copy E-visa, a health certificate which could be from a clinic and if not had yellow book a certificate of residence and the QR code from the E-learning. The woman also told that I just needed 1 original document from a clinic and 1 certificate of residence. For the second set for the second DL i could copy them!
After i took 2 papers from a clinic for 30 bath each and went to the immigration. The immigration told that I needed 2 certificates of residence of 500 bath each.
The E-learning took about 1 hour; 4 sessions of 15 min each. The received QR code has a validity of 6 months. The health certificate and Certificate of residence have a validity of 1 month.
When yesterday I showed my 2 set of papers an other woman asked why took 2 original expensive COR from immigration because for the second application a copy was enough. In the future I not will do that again.
Because the new driving licenses have a minimal validity of 5 years and is always valid until your birthday, I let them expire 1 week. So I got new licences with a validity of 5 years and 51 weeks; nearly 6 years.
All the people at the DLT were very kind and helpfull.
