Dear readers,

My brother got his Thai driver's license two years ago, but since it was only valid for 2 years the first time. For your information: my brother comes to Thailand for a month twice a year and has his own home here in Thailand. He must therefore renew this driver's license next December.

My question now is whether he needs to be in possession of a non-immigrant o visa again for this or can he do that extension with a regular 30-day visa waiver on entry?

Regards,

Kidney

    For a 5-year extension, he must have his domicile here, so yellow tabian Baan. He can apply for a provisional driving license again.

      I have never had a yellow tabian job and have had my Thai driver's license for about 5 years now with retirement visa.

      You do not need a so-called Yellow Tabian Job at all to obtain a Thai driver's license.
      Non-immigrant visa is sufficient. Have had a Thai driver's license for 40 years and never had such a bookie.

    Required documents state passport + copy of passport with the visa.
    Furthermore, the same documents are required as for the application for the first 2-year driving license

    First tell us where your brother's house is because the rules in Pattaya are different than in Chang Mai, for example ... as an example in Pattaya you must submit a certificate of residence and they do not accept Tambien job the yellow book
    By the way, your brother has a house here in Thailand, does he also have the blue book?

    • fons says up

      that blue book can only be done by thai name

    Non immigrant visa is required for 5 years, with visa exempt entry he gets another 2 years.
