How long does it take to obtain a work permit with an existing work visa in Thailand?

Declan **********

I've had one in 3 days, 1 in a week and one that took nearly a whole month... like everything in thailand, it really depends on your location and the office being used.

Is the 'Training 5 hours in office' for the Thai motorbike license part of the test?

Declan **********

Unless you have a valid and current IDP and licence from your home country that indicates and shows you can legally drive a bike, you will need to sit the Thai training and tests.
