Yes, you do. You will need another residence certificate, medical certificate, copies of the passport, photos, and your current license. You can get all the copies and photos at the little shop next door to the Immigration Police office, so that won't be much of a hassle. Make sure you take your passport with you. Also make sure, when getting the photos, they are aware that you need them for the residence certificate and also the driver's license. Different size photos are required for each. Make sure the residence certificate says "non-immigrant" on the visa type. Sometimes they make a mistake and print "tourist" as the visa type. The driver's license bureau won't accept that and they'll send you right back to the Immigration Police office is the certificate says "tourist." With the documents, all you'll have to do is fill out the application and hand over the documents. You'll be called to pick up your new license about a half hour later. If you feel uncertain, please feel free to contact me. I'll be glad to go with you, if you want, assuming I'll be available on Thursday. Quote

Gaybutton Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 As of Oct 1st no medical cert required now for anything.. I don't know if that is correct. During October my boyfriend went for his driving license and they did require him to submit a medical certificate. To avoid problems, I suggest spending the 200 baht it would cost to get one, just in case. I'd rather have it and not need it then get all the way out there and find out that they won't issue the license without it. Quote
