Renewal driving license

[bajanovic]

Hi,
My 1-year driving license is about to run out, and I need to renew it to 5-year. Since I need a residence cert from the immigration, where can I get that? I live in Buriram now, but when I got my driving licenses (car and motorbike) I was living in Jomtien.
Thank´s for response from you guys that been here a while

You can renew you DL at any DLT in Thailand. Kap Choeng Immigration in KC can give you a CR depending on your visa status or see if your local DLT will accept this letter from your local police as Buriram the local bib's are known for this and it would save you 120 km drive each way.

Thank´s, I think we are taking a trip to Kap Choeng Immigration then. I have Non-B VISA, so it shouldn't be a problem with my VISA. Could be nice to see something else here around as well

PP photo and 500 baht. Stop by M&D Coffee and say hello.

We will probably go on Friday, since I have a day off then. Maybe I drop by then, is it easy to find?

Don't go to the police station. We waited for two hours in what seemed to be a holding cell and the guy seemed surprised that we wanted a confirmation of address. However he made a good job of it, took smeared and unusable fingerprints plus ฿800.- off me. (Buriram). The guy had a gun, what was I supposed to do?
TIT, I quite like my little trips to Chong Chum market every few weeks.

If one has difficulty reading the numbers on he "color blind test" yet is not color blind, how is that handled.  Is there a form to take to a physician for verification of "non colorblindness?"  Wife says just go back next day with tea money, but I want it done right.  Anyone encounter this?  Thanks in advance.

Don't go until after your current 1 year has run out otherwise you will be issued with another 1 year!

Took my mate to the police station the other day. No problems. Residence letter for 100 baht. In and out, of an office, in 30 mins.

Buriram transport dept accept the letter from the police.

Don't forget the medical certificate.

I also obtained certificate of residence from Buriram Police Station with no issue. Quick in and out and readily accepted at Buriram DLT. My fingerprints were also taken.

OK< to put it another way, is there a medical certification that covers the color blind test when you show up with current IDL and USA DL to get first TDL?

[Starman]

I don't understand. If you are not colour blind then you will not have a problem.

Tests and other things that you have to do to get a licence seem to vary.

As an example, I have never had to watch any video or complete any written test. I know others that have.

Starman the problem comes with reading the numbers in the circles of dots on the machine.  Some people just can't see the numbers, like me.  But I am not color blind if given other tests.  I just wonder if there are options.
