Still sounds like a scam. Bring a Thai speaker along, better to get it done that way (assuming you believe there won't be any English speakers at your local DLT office).

FirstNameLastName Still sounds like a scam. You can easily apply for a Thai license on your own.

You think? Maybe...but what would be the reasons for it in your opinion?

@Hiren *******

You could have because there's always a staff member who speaks English at the DLT. Even if you were fluent in Thai, there would be that one staff member who insists on speaking English with you unless you talk over her in Thai.

AuthenticPassionfruit644 Sounds like a scam. I got mine renewed on my own, including residency certificate, 2 licenses (car and motorcycle), doctor's certificate, 3 IDPs (all the possible ones you can get) I paid less than what you did and it all took about 2.5 hours.

FirstNameLastName You don't need an agent. They don't help and are a waste of money and many of them are scams.

@Hiren *******

Bangkok is the best place and they'll issue a 5 year one (avoid Bang Chak but all other ones will). Chonburi and Rayong are only issuing 2 year renewals.

@Pete ******

No you don't. You can get a 5 year one at most offices if your eligible except for Rayong and Chonburi

Anonymous participant Definitely not. Visa would be abandoned if it were. Imagine IOs calculating what the exchange rate is and if according to them you only hold 497,000 Baht you could be denied entry. LOL. I don't see it happening. Only on application and extension...they're not going to hold up immigration queues to check your financial history.
