Is the Department of Land Transport in Thailand open for renewing driving licenses?
My 2 yr driving licence is about to expire...have they opened the department of land transport offices yet or is there any news on that? I saw on their website that it's suspended but just want to make sure...
Answer summary
The Department of Land Transport in Thailand has reopened for driving license renewals, but individuals must make an appointment through their website. Confusion exists regarding the availability of services for foreigners, as different language versions of the website show conflicting information. Additionally, driving licenses expiring during the COVID-19 restrictions are reportedly automatically extended, with a grace period for renewal provided.
