I only drive a Honda Wave motorbike does that make a difference as SD is for cars I believe

If your going for the bike license ,you may as well get the car license at the same time , most people go out to the department on the Khon Kaen highway , it's easy ,

I saw on another forum that some places are now making you complete online multiple choice tests for renewals. Is that the case in Udon?
Also my tabian ban is from Jomtien but licence issued here in Udon, Can anyone tell me if that is likely to cause a problem?
Thanks

Driving to Udon in the morning to try for this renewal. Appreciate if anyone could answer my concerns.

When I renewed both my license's last year it was at AEK, so AFIK they do both.

Do AEK actually issue new licenses now??
I thought that they only issued follow on replacements??

You will need the dreaded free approval letter from Udon Immigration (that usually costs 500 baht

) as well. You will need to sit through the 1 hour driving instruction video as well. They only run them at 8 a.m. & 1 p.m.

So where do I get Thai Licence - Immigration & what papers & cash are required pls?

The expiration date is 1 year (set in your home country) the validity for driving in Thailand is 90 days (set in Thailand)

The best place to go is the DLT head office in Non Soong, about 5km south of Udon on the road to Khon Kaen
For 1 licence you need

Passport +copy
Medical certificate 100 Baht or less
Photos
Residents cart from immigration 500 Baht no receipt get it immediately or free and wait up to a week.
IDP ( probably with national licence) +copy
You will get a 2 year temporary license or licenses
For both car and bike just copy all the above, don't tell immigration that you are going to get 2 licences or they will charge double.

Cost about 100 per licence

Or Go to smart drive and pay 5,000 +

AFIK AEK will renew both car and bike, I don't know if they will do new ones.
So far I've never had to sit through the videos, new licence in Non Song, renewed in AEK.

: 5 year full licence

As u see applying for 1 year temp & 1 st point is you need original 1 yr licence (TIT personified)

If you 'mouse click' on the pictures they are enlarged & can be enlarged again from there.

I believe that it is the first photo that STWW posted that you need to view as the second one deals with renewals also..

Post by **vidmaster** » March 1, 2017, 4:17 pm

Why aren't the forms on my dlt.go.th?
My website is totally different

Post by **vidmaster** » March 1, 2017, 4:18 pm

Are you in the intranet section?

Post by **vidmaster** » March 1, 2017, 4:25 pm

I use Firefox browser will that make any difference to the dlt site I get?

Post by **BobHelm** » March 1, 2017, 4:45 pm

If you are asking me then I can't help you as I have not gone to the site suggested.
My comments were in relation to the pictures that STWW posted above.

I don't believe that using Firefox as a browser would give you a completely different view of a website than using another browser though.
I do know that Thai Immigration based their online 90 day reporting on Internet Explorer & other browsers had issues using it, but I think it is an 'all or nothing' scenario rather than something different!!

You do, the colour has been changed because of the recent death.

Post by **vidmaster** » March 1, 2017, 7:51 pm

But I don't get the forms you posted

You probably didn't get any forms because I didn't post any forms. I posted a picture, listing what you need, captured from the DLT website a while ago.

The DLT office has the form you will need to fill in. AFAIK it has never been available for download.
You will find life easier if you have someone along to translate, I had SWMBO

FWIW there are still a few errors on the website, it hasn't been updated for the 2 year validity of the temporary licence and there is still a valid/invalid mistake.
