Ok I have just done this about 7 weeks ago

Take the form and your money into the passport office with your passport if you are in Bangkok you will need to make a appointment to go they will look over your form and take your money and give you a receipt for your money and form

You have to wait and once your passport has arrived they will inform you

You take your old passport with you and they will cut a corner of your old passport and then return it to you with your new passport and they will give you an form for the immigration office to fill in and you will need one more for the thai immigration to fill so you will have two forms for the thai immigration

You need two copies of your passport one for the old and the new passport

Now if you are on a retirement visa they will ask you for your bank book and a full years statement from your bank, this is what happened to me even though its not on the website for the passport renewal, I have to go to Bangkok immigration

@Ray ****
as the man said only for 3 months period it all depends on your local licensing office you will have to go to see a doctor to check you out

It was a long time ago I did it but I am sure that you have to get a letter from your embassy and do a eye test at the test office

You can check the information for your thai license on their website

Or you can get a company to help you with your license

You will need a thai driving licence so don't worry about your old driving licence

It's much easier for you to come to Thailand and do the retirement visa here in Thailand so read the information on the website
