Visa Requirements for Selling Vehicles

[gerryBScot]

Realise this relates to current topic regarding buying but need to know that I can sell my truck while here on a 30 day waiver. Was here previously for seven plus years on Non B and WP when truck bought. Any advice gratefully received.

Yes, you can.

 

However some DLT's require a certificate of residence to sell, and some immigration offices will not give out one of those on a visa exempt entry.

I agree with stevenl. I had to have a Certificate of Residency from Thai Immigration when I sold my car.

Good topic and I see another question:  yes I used to get a res cert for car stuff, but now they have the farang mandatory reg where you stay.. WOULD they accept that as we already all have it.

I had to have Residence Certificate when I recently sold my motorcycle.  This was in Korat.  You should be able to get a Residence Certificate from your Embassy  while on a 30 day waiver.

Embassy, not immigration office?

Either  will do, embassy  dearer but faster

 

Immigration slower but cheaper

Indeed, embassy letter cost considerably more but can do on a 30 day waiver.  Korat immigration cannot do on a 30 day waiver, but cost is 500 Baht and letter issued same day, immediately.

So nobody knows if the Notification of residence we all supposed to have all the time can be used instead of the old cert of residence?

Have no idea what a "Notification of residence" is and I have been living here full time for 11 years but if it is notarized by a Thai notary, which in Thailand is a lawyer, and is less than 6 months old it would probably work.

Different DLT offices have different requirements but have never heard of one accepting a TM30 receipt. Usually a Resident Cert/embassy letter, work permit or yellow book.

I think he means a TM30 reciept that some immigration offices staple into passport,

A letter from the police on police paper will also work, some stations will do it for you free and some might not and send you to the  embassy .....

Can not be used, certificate of address is required (or workpermit or yellow housebook).
