Driver's License Procedures Chiang Mai - 2020

[deej 259]

FWIW

Went to Mae Taeng DLT to morning for 5 yr renewal of my drivers licience.

And was told NO CAN DO for Falang due to no video room being availabe for Falang

Was told must go to Handong DLT for renewal as they  have a Falang video room and watch a 1 hour video before given a new 5 yr licience 

All new news to me

Same thing happened to me a year ago. The computer was down -- a bunch of us had to come back the next day for the final step -- photo and issue.

Do you need the medical thing? I don't recall doing it last time (but might have). 

Residence certificate? Where do we get this these days? How long does it take? 

 

Thanks.

All the above messages refer to 5 year license renewal. Are the requirements the same for changing from a temporary 2 year license to a 5 year licence or are there additional hoops to go through?

 

Sawadee bee Mai all.

You need to read some of the 32 pages on the matter linked above.

Not to worry I got my answer quicker by googling another site.

 

No requirement for test in case other people were wondering.
