ORIGINAL POSTERI just got my DTV approved today. I used to live in Thailand before and have a Thai drivers license (which expired this Jan). Can I apply for a new one with DTV?
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user recently received approval for their DTV visa and is inquiring about the possibility of applying for a new Thai driver's license, noting that their previous license expired in January. Responses indicate that it's generally possible to obtain or renew a license using any valid visa, including the DTV, and advise to act quickly if they wish to renew the expired license.

You can get a license on any visa, possibly even get a renewal on your recently expired license if you hurry.

Can DTV holders obtain a 5-year Thai driving license, and are there differences based on visa types?
