you have up to ONE YEAR to renew an expired 5-year Thai driving license

@Aman ******

you don't get a driver's license on an Amphur. You need to use the DLT office. Department of Land Transport

for the application to the visa, your original income documents are accepted. However for the application to the 1-year Extension of the Stay Permit in Thailand, you need a certified income affidavit by the German embassy Bangkok over a minimum of equivalent 65,000 THB per month, and Immigration will most probably also wants to see that you have a Thai bank account

yes, it completely changed. Now you need proof of EITHER three months bank statements over a minimum of equivalent 800,000 THB (21.700.- Euro), OR proof of a monthly income of a minimum of 65,000 THB (ca. 1750 Euro)

@Jo *********

correct - some people are on short holidays (like oil riggers on leave) however Immigration officers at the borders will still start counting the days. You are absolutely safe if your visa-exempt stays are below 180 days during the recent 365-days period. This is a kind of "rule-of-the-thumb" Immigration is using. There is not one single official rule that limits visa-exempt entries. It's just the number of days spent in Thailand
