you can renew a Thai Driving License until one year after the expiry date. Actually, if you renew it 3-4 weeks AFTER your birthday, which should be the expiry date, you will get 5 years and 11 months validity on your renewed license

correct. Actually a SWIFT transfer of a high amount by a home bank, will offer better conditions than a WISE transfer, as many banks charge only a low fixed fee. The slightly better exchange rate of WISE compared against their fee might turn into a disadvantage for WISE

in case you use WISE for the transfer, make sure you tick in their menue the "purpose" correctly, or it will show as an inside Thailand transfer

why looking any further . .

that's how it is. A visa issued by an embassy of Thailand does not entitle you the right to enter Thailand. When an immigration border official sees your travel history stamped into the passport, he can refuse entry (despite you hold a visa) on the grounds of suspecting that you use short-time tourist visa to undermine the permit of stay system.

@Graham *****

ok

you can get almost 6 years out of an Non-ED visa. But you HAVE to attend the school, as this will get checked. You can learn Thai for 3 years, and then switch to another language for 3 more years. 100% LEGAL (!) but just NOT with every "school" - there are a many half witted not so legal schools out there . .in case you are interested, google for "easy ABC Pattaya"

@Neil *****

no he cannot. Too late. Because of the pre-checks, before an application will be approved

@Neil *****

the application window is closed by now, because the ELITE check takes almost 2 weeks. It's over for the guy. 5 Million for 20 years is the price, it starts on October 1st
