Asking a Liscence (motorbike or car) with Tourist Visa ?

[Nervosa]

Hi.

I come back this year with only a Tourist Visa (Multiple Entries).

Last year i had a Non-Immigrant Visa but due to some business problem i just come back as a tourist.

But anyway, I don't have any driving license, In Thailand and from my home country too, due to a technical problem with a bottle, i lose it... not proud of it.

But that mean if i want to get it back in my country i had to start all over again. That mean around 30 000 Baht*** , 3 months of theories school, 6 month of car driving school and one year wait to get my permanent card.

And i need my permanent card to ask my international license

But i heard in Thailand its way faster and I'm bored to ride illegally on my motorcycle and pay the 200-500 baht fee to let the police let me go and not be able to ride a car when i need to go far.

And my girlfriend don't have her driving license too. But have it for Motorcycle,

So some other Expats told me i can get a Motorcycle license with my tourist Visa but not for a car license, is that true ??

I know they ask a Non-Immigrant visa, but sometimes the Thai laws is a little bit up and down...

On a tourist visa you will only get a 1 year license.

Mind you the first time you get a thai licence they only give 1 year anyway.

The short answer is

Yes you can get both on your tourist visa.

I got both car and bike on a tourist visa
