  1. So firstly, you would do better to renew your licenses just after they expire. Your license is granted for the fixed period plus any remaining days until your next birthday. This means if you renew 1 day after your license expires you will get an additional 364 days. 2 days late and you get 363 days, etc. Don't leave it too long though as there is a definite number of days after which it will expire for good.

     

    If you have a car and also a bike license you will need:

     

    Your passport (and 2 copies)

    Your work permit (and 2 copies)

    A medical certificate (I was asked for this when I renewed) and 1 copy

    Your 2 expired licenses

     

    That's all I seem to recall being asked for. You will need to complete 2 application forms - if you don't speak or write Thai it's always easier to take someone along who does. If you have a 1 year extension of stay you should be able to get a 5 year license this time, which is a convenient thing to have.

     

    You know the drill though - if you have any other original bits of paper they might ask for then take them along as well. There is a photocopy service in the building where you can always get something photocopied.

    Sometimes though Thai's who want to buy and sell condos quickly to anybody...

     

    You mean if they want to sell to a non-Thai person. A Thai person would not buy a condo owned by a company.

     

    The only exception would be property trading/development, but believe me, you have to be pretty special to make a living doing that because the majority of property takes a considerable time to sell.

  3. As has been stated, the fact that a company owns the condo is irrelevant. Your wife is just buying an asset of the company.

     

    The current owner probably wants to sell the company structure along with the condo, because otherwise they will be left with an empty company they still have to submit accounts on or they have to pay to close.

     

    The thing is a Thai citizen would almost never buy a company that owns a property in this manner. Why would a Thai citizen pay an accountant every month to file accounts when they have the absolute right to own the property in their own name, hassle free?

     

    Politely explain you will buy the condo, but you are not interested in the company. If the seller won't agree then walk away. There are condos for sale literally everywhere, and both you and the seller know it.
