How to get car registered in my name after payoff?

Featured Replies

Hi everyone. I'm looking for info on how to get my Toyota pickup changed into my name. I paid it off last month from Toyota leasing and they sent me the documents to sign, which I did, and I sent them back to Toyota. Now, 2 weeks later they say I need to give them a copy of my Work Permit! There was nothing in the original paperwork that said anything about this.

 

I have a marriage Visa, so can I get this done without a Work Permit?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

You have to prove your adress. 

Certificate from immigration or your embassy, work permit or yellow thabien bahn. 

Any will do.

Will the blue house book also work in this case ?

It's proof of residence that's needed, you can not be listed as resident in Blue House book.

If U got a WP - good to go.

If not - Cert of Residency from Immigration

You can if you have a residence permit.

No, only as owner, not as recident, you need a yellow book for that.

I haven't started posting false information!

 

A foreigner holding a 'Residence Permit' (commonly known as Permanent Residence) can be included in the Blue Tabian Baan.

canthai is correct, but for peace of mind, go to your local 90 day imo office, they, believe it or not are most helpful on this subject of late.

Thank you everyone. I have a valid WP so I will use it. Hopefully no BS from the Motor Vehicles Dept. in Chonburi. I'll let you all know how it went when it's finished

 

Kind Regards all

It's called certificate of residence. 

It's like calling extension of stay a visa.

I know what it is called. It is also known as a "Residence Permit" for short because it is a PERMIT. 

 

"Notification of Immigration Commission
Criterion and conditions of foreign nationals’ residential permit consideration

Base on the authority prescribed in Section 7, Section 41, Section 43 and Section 45 of Immigration Act B.E. 2522 stipulate that foreign nationals who wish to attain resident in the Kingdom of Thailand may apply for resident permit with the Immigration Commission."

Your comparison is nonsensical. I called it a "Residence Permit" not a Residence Visa.

Took me 8 months,  letter of residence was required... Not WP as different to home address.  As LOR only lasts 30 days had to then get another.  Kasikorn leasing,  was a real nightmare for me.  Good luck

And also as I had changed province,  they said had to have new plates which was another 6 weeks.

I have been "puu asai" = living on the property and "chau baan = master of the house hold both in yellow and blue tabien baan books. They work exactly the same way, blue is for Thai's and residents, that's the only difference

 

I have always translated puu asai to living on the property and evidence of that should be what is required to register a car on you = proof of my legally registered address in Thailand. I don't care if that is called resident or not but can you explain what you mean please

 

1) You mean that it not evidence of your legally registered address if you're in the blue tabien baan as puu asai?

2) Owner? Tabien baan has nothing to do with ownership, it is just a house register. There is no owner information anywhere in a tabien baan

 

Thanks

Contrary to what is often assumed by foreigners this document has nothing to do with ownership of a house or condo and cannot be used as proof of ownership

I know, that is why I wonder why you wrote

Well it took over a month, mostly due to the incompetence of the Toyota people, but I finally got my Book and all's well now. They had my WP the first time but they did something wrong, because the 2nd time they went to DMV it went through.
