Pete *******
@Jeremy *******
 my understanding is that the blue book is a civil registration for Thai nationals only. Foreigners can be registered only in a yellow book.

@Paul ******
 as the DTV is not even 2 years old most holders would not yet be up for renewal. Most offices follow department policy. Facts matter.

@Paul ******
 you obviously live in an alternative reality where facts don’t matter. The official policy of the DLT is you need a Non Immigrant visa for a 5 year license. I refer you again to the DLT website.

@Paul ******
 the requirements for a 5 year driving license are published on the DLT website. It requires a long term visa.

 to get a 5 year license you need a long term visa. A DTV will only get you a temporary 2 year license.
