I cant really say if it’s the same for all requirements at the DLT but I’m renewing my Thai license. I was given a date of exactly 2 months for my appointment.

How difficult is it to obtain a Thai driver's license for expats?

Tom *******

There’s a 2-month wait now at the DLT center in Bangkok so I hope you’re not in any hurry. My appointment is in the middle of April to renew my Thai driving license. You also need a certificate of residency either from your embassy or from the Thai immigration office in Chaeng Wattana.

How can I find a certified agency to translate my marriage certificate for immigration in Thailand?

Tom *******

Wherever you get it translated, it still has to be certified at the MOFA so choose a legit translation agency that Thai ministry will recognise.

@Sammy ******

mine arrived yesterday from Chaeng Wattana and it doesn’t state at all how long it’s valid for. The woman immigration officer who processed it for me said she didn’t know how long it’s valid for when I asked her. TIT.

@Taz *********

Interesting. I never heard that before. I understood that the 2-year license was only the first one and all thereafter were for 5 years. Don’t forget you have to book an appointment there and there’s a 2-month wait right now. Good luck.

@Stuart ********

the work permit needs to state your address on it. The new WPs do. Otherwise you need a residency letter from the immigration office or your embassy.

Regarding your “residence address in Thailand certificate from immigration bureau,” you can also get one from your embassy. Mine offered one printed out on the day but wanted 1400 THB per copy. If money’s no concern, and you want to avoid the hoop jumping at Thai immigration, it’s a viable option to get one from your embassy.
