@Vit ********

well, thank you!

Upon your notification, I checked and mine was mailed the 12th, this past Tues. On the other hand, I made a note to myself when I checked 2 days ago, on the 14th, and even then it said "status not available". I even signed up for Email notifications, and nothing has happened. I tell you, our tax dollars are hard at work.

@Vit ********

sorry, I do not know which one. Maybe someone else can comment.

I heard tbe same, but after the fact. And you are right, the answers are at time non-sensical. That's why years ago, when they gave stitting tests, I had to do it several times. Did the same this last time a few months ago but online. Went thru the test several times till the multiple choices were used up. I have not heard of anyone not getting a driver's lic here. Good exercise on the "Thai ways". 😀

Even before Covid, one had a 1 year grace period to renew. This was either reaffirmed or extended during Covid (maybe they did not want the large crowds). Last Dec both of my lic came up for renewal and they gave me an appointment for 3 months later, this past March. The usual docs needed: renewal application, passport copy, long term visa copy, old lic copy, residence cert from immigration, and the cheap medical health cert. One set of docs for each lic. They'll have you download an app to see a movie and answer a few test questions. Take the test till you pass. You get a receipt on your phone and bring that to the appointment. No need for pics. Good luck.

For teaching English, check out ajarn.com and Dave's ESL Cafe. Lots of info. For the best salaries, look at international schools.

@Vit ********

thank you! I sent mine precisely three weeks ago and "status not available". Keep my fingers crossed.

Be aware, if you apply for one year visa extensions, that an extension will be granted up to the passport's validity date but not beyond. Good luck!

Thank you for taking the time to share. Good luck tomorrow and have a safe trip back. Make sure the entry stamps are correct.

I did not send the 4 pages of instr... seemed redundant but did send the checklist with my initials as requested. Being so frustrated with all this, I simply followed the printed instr and used 4 staples on the appl form. It's been a week since they received the appl and old passport. No feedback so far.

Sorry, but my experience was reversed. I almost immediately got a receipt from Thailand Post Mart via eMail. I also looked into my phone "Gallery" but did not get a receipt from the bank. First and hopefully last time I will have to do this rigamoro. In ten years AI will be smarter than our current bureacracy. See receipt below.
