Can I renew a driver's license with a Non-B, or do I need to wait for the full work permit process to be completed?

Answer summary

Yes, you can renew a driver's license in Thailand with a Non-B visa; the Department of Land Transport (DLT) does not require you to show your work permit for this process.
