Motorbike Driving Licence Pattaya

[bbi1]

For a Laos citizen who doesn't hold a motorbike licence anywhere in the world but knows how to drive a motorbike back in Laos, are there any "express" options (eg. via an agent and if so, any recommended ones) for getting a licence without having to go to the Land Transport Office and doing a test? If not, do Laos citizens need to queue up with the foreigners in the queue outside? If there are no express options, how long and what are the usual steps that's needed for someone who has never held a motorbike licence before?

Same as falang,if you pay and she uses an agent its marginally easier, they take you there back and help with test but she'll still need to do the physical test. Or go there get appointment and go back for remainder

Are you insinuating that the queue for Thai applicants is shorter, or is it that they don't bother with one. 555

How long is the 2 day course that is needed to be done? Does it take up 2 complete full days from 9am to 5pm?

 

Am I correct in understanding 3 days in total are needed, one day to get an appointment and then 2 days for the written and driving test? Is the written test able to be done either in English or Thai?

Your friend will likely have to go to the office at least once as they need to take a photo and fingerprint (or is the fingerprint only used for the exam?).

 

But yes, an agent has offered me what your friend is looking for. I went with the more legit option as it was cheaper and I wasn't worried I'd fail the tests.

 

The exams are a bit of a joke and another person there passed the riding test without even taking it, simply because the proctor was otherwise occupied or didn't want to deal with the guy.
