Metropolitian Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 https://www.dlt.go.th/en/ Diving license need to be renewed to a new 5 year license. Maybe we need to leave the country on the 26th, and I am using the license abroad too as the 'home country' license has expired long time. In Thailand there is a grace period regarding the DL validity. But I am not sure if other country would see it as 'valid'. So I want it to be renewed and I have seen other threads that there are some who was able to renew their DL. Does anyone know if DLT in Morchit (BKK) is able to renew my DL? Another point; I'm in the 'amnesty' as my visa and extension ended in the last months. I was even not able to do the 90 days reporting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brewsterbudgen Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 You can renew a Thai driving licence now, you just need to make an appointment. My 5-year licence expired at the end of August, and the earliest appointment I could get at Bang Chak was for Christmas Eve. I have read that some foreigners who just turned up at Mor Chit could renew theirs without an appointment, but I have no evidence of this myself.

DrJack54 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 May I ask about obtaining a DL (not renew) in Bangkok. I had planned to return bkk next week and obtain one. Is that possible and do I need an appointment. Thank you for any advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did my license renewal back in July (not in Bangkok). To get into the appointment system, the people at the DLT told me to use my wife's Thai ID number and then to use my own information when filling out the registration form. Sounds a little dodgy but it worked and I was able to make an appointment. I didn't need to show my wife's ID when I went to the appointment. You'd just need to find a Thai person whose ID # you could use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post you quoted is from Sept. 2020. You should be able to renew your Thai license now. I believe you are technically required to have an international drivers permit to drive in Thailand if you don't have a Thai license. The catch is you can usually only get an IDP back home and they typically expire 1 year after issue date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StateSix Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I need to renew my car and bike licences. Can someone confirm that I only need 1 Certificate of Residence, or will I need one for the car licence renewal and one for the bike licence. A google search said that someone in another province had been asked for two. Also, are the Certificate of Residences still done at Chaeng Wattana, or have they been moved up to the temporary place at Muang Thong Thani?

A Google search:- "which countries are thai drivers license valid", will enlighten you somewhat. I can and have used mine in Australia.........
