ORIGINAL POSTER

I need to renew my Thai driving licences for motorbike and car from a 2 year to 5 year licence. My 2 year licences expired in December 2020...I am aware of the documentation required. My question is: Will I be able to renew my licences even though my current licences are expired by 2 months or will I have to go through the initial application & procedure again? TIA ..

TLDR : Answer Summary

You can renew your expired Thai driving licences up to one year after they have expired. Since your licences expired 2 months ago, you should be able to proceed with the renewal process. However, you will need to provide a residence certificate or house book, a doctor's certificate, and pass the required reaction/depth awareness tests and sight tests at the driving licence centre.

Can renew up to one year after expiry. Will need house book or residence certificate from Immigration and Doctors certificate. Need to still do reaction/ depth awareness test and sight test at driving licence Centre.
