Pebbles33 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 We bought a car and stupidly did not get the ownership transferred right away. Now the owner has moved home and no longer has a current Thai visa. So now I'm wondering what we can do. Does he have to come back here or is there another way of transferring the ownership to us? I feel like this must have happened before. Thanks for any advice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackdd Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 From what i have read a copy of his exit stamp should be ok, just call your local DLT and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaZa9 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Get a Thai to go into the Motor Registry and say they are thinking of buying a car from a falang who has overstayed and about to leave and what the implications are. In Phuket , signed copies of a current valid visa , passport ID page , last entry stamp , and exit card are required.. ( as well as signed Bill of Sale and Power of Attorney page ). If the rules are to be 'stretched' , it will be easier to do that if the "buyer" is a Thai - like maybe you have a Thai wife. After , she can "sell" it to you.

khunPer Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 The previous owner can sign power of attorney to someone in the Kingdom to act and sign on his behalf. It's a standard form that can be bought in many paper-shops, perhaps also available as pdf-download. A signed copy of seller's passport is also needed; but check with the local Land Transport Office what they exactly require of documents when seller is using power of attorney for a transfer. I've done it a couple of times, selling both a car and a motorbike, and also when buying two cars – often a broker or dealer will do all paperwork for both buyer and seller – so the Land Transport Office is used to the procedure, as it's often used.
