No problem to get a 5 year license with Elite visa.

The Elite visa is a tourist visa it is not a NON-IMMIGRANT VISA.

 

As such if a DLT official is following the DLT rules you can only qualify for a 2 year temporary license.

However This Is Thailand and as such many, if not all, rules are subject to variations. Often variations are subject to influence by status of the applicant, qualities of pretty pieces of paper, the mood of the official/boss.

 

But such influences maybe subsequently cancelled to the detriment of the influencee.

Following the rules, a government office, in Thailand 5555, very good!

No matter what, you don't have time.  I went to Land Transport on Thursday, 1-12, and got my appointment.  The soonest date on the "falang" side of signup tent was for April 3rd.  Doesn't sound worth even attempting it, to me.

Probably appointments reserved for the agent people, 4k to speed things up and hand holding

Not sure what you mean about reserved appointment.  Their sign now says "only 100 applications per day" .  That's 75 before lunch and 25 after.  The lady said this problem is only at Pattaya for the long wait.  She said for faster service go to Rayong or Bangkok.  I had a previous appointment I missed because I moved and would've had to do a resident letter, change of address, etc.  So I skipped it.  It was a month wait for a November 7th appointment.  Now, almost 3 months unless I want to go to another location.  I have my IDL so it's no biggie for me to wait.  But on a visa on arrival w/30 extension and no plan to apply for Non-Imm Visa, I wouldn't bother.

Agents are allocated quicker appointments otherwise no one would use them, if you need the licence quicker use one

no, the reason people queue is to get in there quicker, let us know how you get on

You mean get off?

That looks correct, i went there last week for a RC, go early to make it marginally less painful.

 

Don't forget a mask and no singlet 

They do NOT enforce wearing masks.. Last week,  only a handful of the staff were wearing a mask.

You replied to an 11 month old post whereby back then they did mandate masks

If they are still issuing residence certificates. whether they are wearing masks or monkey suits has nothing to do with the question in the OP!
