Required documents to transfer a car ownership in Thailand

Now that you’re familiar with the two main types of car ownership transfer, here’s what you will need to successfully transfer a car ownership, both as a local and as a foreigner in Thailand: 

• The vehicle, which must be taken to the DLT office for an inspection.
• The car registration book, also known as the blue book in Thailand.
• Required forms:
  • Ownership transfer form signed by both the seller and buyer.
  • Power of attorney form for any party not present at the DLT Office.
• Vehicle sale contracts, receipts and invoices.
• Signed copies of personal documents from both the seller and buyer.

For Thais:

• ID card and a copy of the front and back on one page.
• House registration book (Tabien Baan)
• Additional documents (if applicable): Name change documents, divorce papers, death certificates, will, etc.

For foreigners:

• Original passport, along with copies of the info page and current visa stamp.
• One of the following:
  • Certificate or letter of residence issued by Thai immigration. A TM-30 and a visa with a minimum of 30 days remaining are required for this letter.
  • House title (yellow book) with your name. The original is needed on the day of transfer.
  • Work permit, only if it lists your home address in addition to your work address. Note that if you have a digital work permit, ensure you submit a printed copy that has been stamped and certified by the Department of Labour.

Today I called the transport office and they said I do need a residene visa  to transfer log book to new owner 

I sold my car in Nakhon Ratchasima recently and they insist on a Residence Certificate.
Requirements are different depending on where you live.
Better check first with the local DLT office instead asking the regular "Barstool Wisdom Keyboard Warriors".

I had serious thoughts about returning permanently to the UK (that was my plan when I flew back to the UK).  But to survive on a UK state pension would mean taking money from the social security system (money which I would be legally-entitled to, eg rent allowance etc etc). I don't think that is a good plan for your retirement years 🙂

I had always been stashing up money at the bank with my children in mind if I would die.
They would inherit a good sum of money to start their life.
Something I never did have.

Until a few years ago, when I was warned that I might have to leave Thailand to get proper health care.
RE-thinking my "wealth" and my "inheritance" gave me a complete different view on this.
When the Reaper would come for me the TAXMAN (Belgium) would get the biggest chunk, 65%, out of my savings.
My children who would get the other 35%, would to pay taxes on this again the next year as they would have to declare it in their income.
Besides that, I have 3 children, and like most elder people, NONE of them are worried about me.
Just a "Happy Birthday" card and a "Happy New Year" card to prove they did not forgot me.
Better to spend the savings on things I aways wanted to do, but were to expensive and not really needed.
A cruise around the world like I see many times for 10,000 USD?
Living in 2024 is not the same as living in 1960.

Firstly, I wish you good health! Secondly, Thai doctors only know about pills and surgery. They haven't a clue about preventing and curing illness through different kinds of food. Stay away from processed food is a must. I rarely eat it.

I agree that most Thai doctors are limited to proscribing another round of Anti-Biotocs and ruining your natural health.

But the doctor at the Military Hospital was a very good doctor and he even cancelled some medicines I was taking because they were doing more harm (Kidneys) than benefit.
It was this doctor who warned me that my GFR (Kidney filtrering) was going very fast downhill and I should prepare to get Kidney Dialysis. 
I informed about Kidney Dialysis with different doctors, also in my home country and, besides the changes in my lifestyle, this would have a big impact on my savings.
I waited more than 1 year, but my last GFR test showed that it was time for me to say "Goodbye" to Thailand.

I don't get point 3 unless it's a miscommunication with English, not his first language.

 

I can't see Thailand contacting his bank regarding his Wealth, it is way too early for such a thing, as many areas are not finalised on tax for foreigners etc

 

The alleged tax year isn't even over, and there are many questions unanswered regarding rules, regulations and implementation.

 

I do agree, however, Thailand is no place for somebody elderly who is a foreigner with multiple health issues.

 

I would sooner be in Spain than parts of the UK.

Weither you "can see" or not, it was a FACT and I proved it in the thread about taxes with a copy of the letter which was sent to me by my bank disclosing my accounts and even my Credit Cards.
I was very lucky that my bank gave me this warning.
A fellow countryman who I spoke about this was brushing it off by saying: "You dod chose the wrong bank".
That was until he contacted his bank in Belgium and was told that they did the same, but did not send a warning to him as this was completely legal.
Many things are going on behind your back without anybody warning you about that.

Just plain evil, makes a joke of mainly Buddhist society. 

A joke to Buddhist society?
I think you don't have a clue about Buddhisn.

Wishing bad luck upon an other human being would load you with bad Kharma.
Buddhists don't wish any bad luck upon the perpetrators.
Kharma will take care of that.
That's why so many people refuse to file charges upon somebody who did harm them.

Can't you drag those buttons to the left?

I can on my phone, but can't remember what the PC version looks like 

The 3 dots after the last option are only available on the phone version.

Anyhow, I got the answer to my question from the Google maps already: It is not possible to change the presets.

I am sorry for the guy his ordeal, but when you drive anything on 2 wheels in Thailand you take a big risk to be involved in an accident.

On a side note, at the school of my daughter, ALL students and teachers were covered by a health insurance of the school (employer). Why did the school didn't provide the same to him?

An Personal Accident Insurance is very affordable and would have him covered for minimum 1 million baht in this case. My last payment to my PA Insurance (70 years old) was 6,500 Baht for 1 year. Not having a basic PA insurance and relay on donations is not the best way to handle such accidents.

That's the whole point that you are not able to understand. 

For the 3rd time: you can work anywhere in the EU, and if you have a job in country XYZ, you con live there too.

But if you have no job, e.g. you are retired or a housewife,  there is no right to live anywhere in the EU.

Any nationality must register when they come to live in Spain.

Spaniards are a bit special because they keep a census abroad managed by consulates.

So you can register with your Belgian ID or passport.

To register in a rental property, the following documentation is required:

- Rental contract

- Latest water or electricity bill (it doesn't matter whose name it is under).

- Last rent payment receipt

When you have the documentation we can make an appointment to help with the application for registration on the census. On Tuesdays we attend at the town hall of La Mata if it is convenient for you to come by on Tuesday.

All the best,

International Residents

Show me EU law that says so!

There ain't one.

 

What is the EU 90 day rule?

The 90/180-day rule states that any foreign national who enters the Schengen zone (any country within the area) can stay for up to 90 days within any 180 days. At first glance, it seems a very simple rule, but it's often misunderstood, and many people overstay it, resulting in them facing penalties.

90 days reporting exists almost everywhere.
Go to any EU country without being a resident and you need to do the  90-days report/border run as well.
If you are tired of the 90-days report, there is an easy way out: GO HOME!!!!!

Click on "More" on that bar and that gives you lots more categories, including "Hospitals".

Where you see "More"?

When opening Google maps, a bar on the top of the screen offers a selection of topics to be choosen.
Is there a way to personalize this selection?
EG.: Change the topic "ATM" to "Hospital"

The Vietnamese woman was not aware that "stealing a foreign husband" was a job that was only allowed for Thai people.
