You can apply at your country's Thai Embassy for a visa based on being married to a Thai national. Once you are in Thailand you can apply (subject to financial conditions) for annual extensions of stay based on marriage.

Are you now in Thailand? What is your current visa?

Tell the poster. See my comment - I am aware.

Main Police station Bangkok only, I understand.

I do not believe that you can renew a retirement visa in Thailand. You need to apply for an extension of stay based on being over 50 years of age.

@Casey *******

No hint of any new law in that.

Please provide a link to these new immigration laws. I have not heard of any new laws.

And at Chiang Mai Immigration they require the photos to be landscape mode.

At the Honda Safety Riding Park on the 118 Road on the way to Doi Saket.

Previous excellent post on the subject: Marlyn Culton

I did my training at Honda Safety since I had never riden before. It was great. I learned so much and got on the road so quickly.

You’ll need the pre riding course (2 days), then the basic course is (1 day), then the test is 1 day on the computer and 1 day actual driving test. So 5 days total.

They will set you up. Literally no one fails…they help you pass.

Total cost was 2,500 baht. 2,000 for pre riding course and then 500 for the basic course which includes the testing days. They don’t charge for test days. They also have deals they offer if you buy things up front, which I didn’t do.

Highly recommend them! And if you take these courses you don’t have to wait 4 weeks to get an appointment at the DLT. Honda Safety will help arrange an appointment for you via the DLT app. You’ll be in within a week. You’ll just submit the paperwork Honda Safety gives you to DLT and get license right on the spot. Even with an appointment and necessary paperwork the wait at the DLT was around 1 hour and 40 minutes. Not an easy process, but this is Thailand you learn deep patience.

Good luck!
