Ok so has anyone successfully  manged to get or renue drivers license  on thie DtV

Answer summary

Renewing a driver's license in Thailand on a Digital Nomad Visa (DtV) can be tricky. While there is no specific visa requirement to obtain a driver's license, renewing one may depend on the type of visa held. If you are on a tourist visa, you will typically receive a two-year temporary license instead of a five-year one. However, experiences may vary by location; some offices may permit the issuance of a five-year license even for those on a DtV. It is advised to check with local authorities regarding specific requirements.

There is no visa requirement to get a driver's license. The only requirement on renewing one is that you are not on a tourist visa in order to get the five year license instead of the two year license. As the DTV visa is a tourist visa you will not get a five year license on renewal, only the two year temporary license again.
