I imagine if a hundred baht note was to get stuck in the paperwork somewhere (accidentely of course) you should have no trouble :D

No renewal is sent to ur address, it is ' Up to You " to renew it, same as the car.

Only things I ever get a renewal notice for are the car insurance with IMG, and my international travel insurance policy from NZI.

Thanks Wazza, if the sticky 100b note does'nt work, I might have to start all over. Not looking forward to that although I do have to pay a visit to immigration in the not to distant future.

My five year drivers license runs out this month, has some one renewed there's, do you still need a Medical Certificate ? photos are done on the computer there now so will not need them.

Medical certificate is required.

You will also need your passport or yellow book, as they will use the ID number to put on the license.

I may have missed something - others can add as required.

You will certainly need to show the medicate certificate + either the residence certificate, a yellow house book or a valid work permit and as I heard - you now have to listen to some sort of video or whats or ever even on the renewal of the driving license. Yet to be confirmed, the waisted time to be spend for watching the video!

:confused: I am confused by recent posts here re. what you need to renew a 5 year Thai D.L.
2 days ago I asked the lady at AEK Udon D.L. Office. (The following info is only for those of us who have a Yellow Book )

She told me:-
You can apply for a renewal 3 months before the old one expires.
You must go to the Regional main office (on the Khon Kaen road,approx 20 kms.)
You do NOT need a medical certificate.
You must bring your old D.L. (in my case,for car and motorcycle )
You must bring your Yellow Book.
You must bring your Passport and some copies.
You have to watch a video (about 1 hour )
You must take a colour blind test.

She speaks good English and assured me that was all I have to do.....trouble is,I am not convinced !
Can someone who has been there very recently to renew their 5 year D.L. please post their experience ?

Just got this information of a friend who renewed his license recently: he went to AEK to renew his license, was sent from there to Non Sung, the Land Transportation Office where he according to the information of AEK should watch a video. He brought his old license, residence certificate and passport - did not have to watch the video and did not have to pass a colour test. When his wife asked if he shouldn`t watch a video the lady at the counter said with a smile that he did not have to. Which means that generally people do but farangs don`t.

:D

Yes a medical is needed - showed my passport, house reg and DL to one lady then went to another in the corner for the photo. All done in about 10 mins - was surprised how easy.
I was born with nothing and still have most of it left

Anyone know what you need to show if your renting a property? i.e. would the contract be enough to show or do you need to take the contract to immigration to get a letter from them?.

If you don't have a yellow housebook (getting one is highly recommended if you plan to live in the same house for a long time) you will have to get a letter from immigration and they will tell you what documentation they need. What was posted in earlier in this thread can give you some guidance and if you are lucky, you won't have to go to immigration a second time.

At one time, immigration required a letter from the Land Transportation Department stating that you needed a letter from the Immigration Bureau. Perhaps somebody has recent experience with that.

BTW, I renewed my five year licenses in 2006 and they expire in 2017. A 10 year + term.

My initial licenses expired after 1 year.
My first renewals expired after 5 years.
My second renewal expires after nearly 11 years.

Perhaps that is common now.

I renewed my 5year license for another 5 years today at AEK. Here's what I needed:
1 copy of my yellow house registration (both pages)
1 copy of my passport photo page
(you can bring your own photos or walk 20meters and make copies....near the pizza shop....2 baht each).
Before you watch the film, a clerk will check you for color blindness.....she'll flash red/green/yellow lights arbitrarily and you tell what you see.
Everyone (falang/Thai) had to watch a 1 hour (almost exactly) movie. The movie is shown only at 10:30 and 1:30. Unlike the last movie I watched at Noonsoon, this one is fully animated........my guess is it was animated based on landscaping and amounts of traffic in Pyongyang. I could be wrong on that count......in any case, the film is one hour....everyone renewing has to watch it.
After the film, the clerk will have you sign a form, take your money, and then another clerk takes your photo and gives you the license.
I walked in about 10:15 and walked out about 11:45.
You DO NOT NEED a doctor's certificate (at least for renewal).
You CAN renew your license up to 3 months before your current license expires. New expiry date is based on your birthday, not on the day you renew.

Total charge: 655 baht.
5 baht ค่าคำขอ, 50 baht ค่าแก้ไขรายการ, 500 baht ค่าใบอนุญาตขัยรถยนต์ส่วนบุคคล, 100 baht ค่าบริการถ่ายรูปแลำพิมพ์ใบอนุญาตขับรถ (I'd guess popcorn would be extra).

All in all a smooth process....all smiles, proper queues, and no civil disobedience.
