5 Year Renewal of Driver's License
Re: 5 Year Renewal of Driver's License
^ Good update timmy. AFAIK, our wives are the only two in captivity that have got a DL renewal at Central. If yours can get a better idea on where the testing office is inside Central, that could be handy.
Also info on the "online question" bit. Mrs tam registered for the Central appointment using their app which I believe is the ONLY way of booking the test. I don't remember her referring to as any part of the re-test beyond applying for it but maybe she skipped that detail. I know she was in and out quicker than any AEK office renewal so something is streamlined.
Might be interesting to know if it has an English option as well.

o.k job done , she was outside the office at 10-50am and still ended up with ticket number 29 .... so big wait , there are only 2 ladys working in the office , the office is on the 3rd floor quite close to the " TRUE " shop and the " DTAC " shop .
when it was her turn the whole thing only took about 20 mins as she had done the question bit online , if you haven't done the online bit you can still renew your licence but you have too watch the 1 hour video , she had NOT prebooked an appointment at Central , she just did the online bit on Saturday then went on " spec " today .
i will say the online questions were easy enough and no problem to follow , but she said only in Thai , and if you are doing both your CAR and MOTORBIKE you have to take the online test TWICE once for each licence then photograph them both to show at the office . hope this helps .

Re: 5 Year Renewal of Driver's License
Timmy, are you saying that one can take the online test in lieu of watching the video at the Central Office or the AEK Office? Do you have a link for the online test?timmy wrote: ↑June 29, 2020, 1:40 pmo.k job done , she was outside the office at 10-50am and still ended up with ticket number 29 .... so big wait , there are only 2 ladys working in the office , the office is on the 3rd floor quite close to the " TRUE " shop and the " DTAC " shop .

Colossians 2:8-10...See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which are based on human tradition and the spiritual forces of the world rather than on Christ. For in HIM dwells all the fullness of the GODHEAD bodily; and you are complete in HIM, who is the head of all principality and power.

YES matey , the online test was at www.dlt-elearning.com ( you need to use CHROME for it to work easy )
with CHROME you can translate everything to English even the test itself .

Hi Guy's..
Just a tip...You may of heard it before...
If you go 1 day or more after your birthday to renew you will get 6 years instead of 5 as the 5 years is given from your next birthday.

Re: 5 Year Renewal of Driver's License
i thought all matters re driving licence are suspended while emergency decree due to covid-19 is in place?
Re: 5 Year Renewal of Driver's License
they seemed to have resumed to normal from 15.06
Re: 5 Year Renewal of Driver's License
Copy visa extension? Could be a bit of a bugger if one is stuck here on some derivative of the Covid-19 amnesty.

Re: 5 Year Renewal of Driver's License
^ I was thinking about those who got caught between expiration of previous extension and getting a new visa (or extension) and were in Thailand on a 30-day visa exempt entry. Maybe I'm the only one. My TDL doesn't expire till next December (I think) so just a hypothetical.
What's a two year extension btw?

I just completed the online training.
The app is taking ages to download, so not sure what's going on there?
I'll keep ya's posted

Re: 5 Year Renewal of Driver's License
It isn’t actually an extension per se, it’s a renewal and classed as a temporary driving licence.tamada wrote: ↑June 30, 2020, 9:40 am^ I was thinking about those who got caught between expiration of previous extension and getting a new visa (or extension) and were in Thailand on a 30-day visa exempt entry.

If you have a short term Visa or “tourist” extension of stay you get a 2 year renewal (EV is a tourist visa.)
If you have a long term visa or extension of stay you get a 5 year renewal.

In my posts all fees and requirements are the standard R&R but TIT and a brown envelope can make incredible changes YMMV.

Re: 5 Year Renewal of Driver's License
Finally got the app downloaded, (after google and found my app store app was disabled)
You can fill it out in English, but when coming to choose a location, it's all in Thai and lists every location in Thailand.
Git the missus to choose Nong Bua Lamphu as should be quieter than Udon.
Going Thurs at 10am.
I'll get a doctor cert tomorrow, and report back

Re: 5 Year Renewal of Driver's License
I returned in march on a 30 day visa exempt therefore they can only issue a 2 year private car licence (temporary). Didn't have to do any online training and even though immigration stamp well out of date no issues at alltamada wrote: ↑June 30, 2020, 9:40 am^ I was thinking about those who got caught between expiration of previous extension and getting a new visa (or extension) and were in Thailand on a 30-day visa exempt entry.

Re: 5 Year Renewal of Driver's License
Was my 4th or 5th renewal, I always go to the main office on KK Road never been longer than an hour start to finish. Actually just back from ordering new number plates too 30 minutes and collect them in 4 weeks time total cost 205 baht. Wouldn't have needed but someone reversed into us at Tesco and you can't make your own here. Once ready you also have to hand in your old ones
Re: 5 Year Renewal of Driver's License
Any updates?
Curious if the medical certificate was actually required when you went in to renew.
UFF DA!
