I wish to renew my 2 year drivers licence to a 5 year. They require a visa more than a tourist visa. I'm from the UK, can someone tell me what is the visa type I require just for this purpose. Can I get it in country, or do I have to apply in London?

Cheers,

My friend has a US driver's license but did not get an International Driving Permit before coming to Thailand. Can they get one here to drive in Thailand? or get a Thai driver's license without having to take the test? (Non-immigrant visa)
