How much should it cost to get a drivers license from the government office? After having gotten the medical certificate and immigration TM30, passport, etc for them. I have both a US (Oregon) Drivers License and an IDP. For both car and motorcycle.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The cost to obtain a driver's license in Thailand varies based on location and type of license. Typically, the fees range from around 205 to 760 baht, depending on whether you are applying for a car or motorcycle license. Additional requirements include a residence certificate, passport copies, and certain medical documents. It is important to note that processes can differ by region and that there may be delays in scheduling tests, particularly in tourist hotspots like Phuket.

As of last Friday, if you are in Phuket, you cannot get an appointment to take test until late April.

You need a residence certificate not just a tm30 for each

You need residence certificate. You get it with tm30 and copies passport/visum/entry stamp. In bkk not possible with tourist visum/excempt, elsewhere most likely possible.
