Depends on where you are and your visa status, however primarily Bangkok bank will be the easiest

Ok

I used to have the 5 year licence, however last time I renewed my licence (2years ago) I was in thailand on a tourist visa and they only gave me 2 years stating ppl on a tourist visa could only get a licence for 2 years

It expired late last year and as I had already left Thailand I will have to see what the requirements are when I make a new Thai licence

You need to get a letter from your landlord stating that you reside at your address and for how long

You take that letter to immigration and ask for a certificate of residence

If you want for both car and motorcycle you will need 2 letters from your landlord

2 copies of passport I’d page 2 copies of visa page 2 copies of last entry stamp

Every immigration is different however most will charge you 500 baht per certificate of residency

If you have a Thai partner usually only 300 baht per certificate of residency

You take the certificate of residency plus copies of your passport and copies of your home country drivers licence and copy of international driving permit if you have one

Go to the Thai licence office & submit your application for a driver licence

Depending on where you apply you may or may not need to do a few things

Watch a safety video (thais crashing cars and bikes)

Do some testing

Colour blind test

Brake response test

Eye hand co-ordination test

Road sign test

If you are on a tourist visa you can only get a licence for 2 years

Other visas you can get a 5 year licence, however the first one issued will only be for 12 months then when you renew it after 1 year you can get a 5 year licence

Check with your local embassy that you will be applying

Some embassy’s are still showing that you can use your income

Eg. if you receive an income that equals 800,000 THB / year or combination of income plus savings

This if your local embassy accepts this for your initial O/A visa can not be used for an extension 12 months later as I’m sure now most embassies are not issuing the income letter statement & also immigration no longer accepts this for O/A visas

Check with your local embassy

What I have read is “fully paid” and I understand that they want you to pay the full amount, ie if you stay 3 months fully pay 3 months

Also they are asking for the tax ID info of where you stay

They have been having a crackdown on thais renting rooms making money and the government not receiving tax

This started Thai apartments advertising on their apartments “no foreigners”

Thailand is going downhill in many ways, foreigners who have been living in thailand for years and or regular visitors have been leaving thailand and choosing other Asian countries to live, and the government do not care as they love & prefer Chinese tourists that normally come on package tours

But just because you register the marriage does not mean you have to apply for a marriage visa, he can still apply for a retirement visa meeting the retirement requirements

If he registers the marriage he can apply for a yellow house book, similar to the Thai blue house book, this can make things easier when purchasing vehicles in his name opening bank accounts in his name ect
