TLDR : Answer Summary
Holders of a DTV visa can indeed apply for a Thai driving license, as confirmed by various expats who have successfully done so. The process does require certain documents such as a passport, a medical certificate, a residence certificate, and possibly an international driving license, although specific requirements may vary by province. Some users noted that even tourists can obtain a license, and that there can be some differences in regulations at different Driving Licensing Offices (DLT). Typically, new license holders receive a temporary two-year license, which may be extended depending on the visa type.
Because some countries don't allow a license without living there?

It's possible in Chiang Mai. At least the extension is possible. I checked that before applying for the DTV visa. But to apply for a driving licence or for an extension you need a certificate of residence and for that you need to have a valid tm30 slip in your passport

Yes you need Passport, medical certificate, your home country drivers license (or you need to sit a full day test instead.) also from immigration you need a residence certificate (as proof of address ) which you apply for after you have done a 90 day reporting. Alternatively, you can use an agent and pay to get it right away.
You forgot Medical Certificate :-) Many of those agents offering license without test are scammers. Many operating from scam centres in Burma and Cambodia
