Renewal · Phuket
Renew your Thai license to five years
One visit. No exam, no lectures, nothing to prepare.

- One visit
- No exam
- Five years
A five-year license requires a work permit or a retirement visa.
There is no way around this - it’s the rule, not our policy. On a tourist visa, the two-year license is the only option.

No work permit or retirement visa?
The two-year license has no such requirement and works exactly the same on the road, as ID, and across the nine countries that recognise a Thai license.

FAQ
Specific to renewal.
What exactly counts as proof of a work permit?
The work permit book or the digital permit, valid on the day of the appointment. The employer’s name has to match the one on file.
Does a retirement visa qualify?
Yes. A non-immigrant O or O-A retirement extension qualifies on its own - no work permit needed alongside it.
Can I renew a five-year license that’s already expiring?
Yes. A five-year license is renewed to another five years the same way, in one visit.
What if my license expired a while ago?
Up to a year past expiry it is still a renewal. Beyond that the theory test comes back, and past three years the process starts again from scratch - 10,000 ฿ for category A.
Do I need to retake anything?
No theory, no practical, no lectures, provided the license is current or recently expired. The medical certificate is the only new document.
Can I renew both categories at once?
Yes, in the same visit. Message us with both licenses and we’ll quote the pair before you go.
