elviajero Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Your visa status isn’t really important. The bank will only be interested in your ability to repay. IMO it’s unlikely you’ll get a loan if you aren’t working in Thailand. Edited May 29, 2018 by elviajero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamkyong Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 i think it is possible but you will need a thai guarrantor ie someone who has a job (proven) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I got a car loan a few years ago from Tisco to purchase a new car, I'm on an extension of stay based on retirement, I wasn't required to provide a guarantor, just proof of my income. So it can be done, though, as I say, it was a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lungbing Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I got a car loan from Kasikorn Bank in Khon Kaen. I've had an account with them 15 years so they know my income. We were visited at home. No problem. That was 2 and a half years ago. Only 18 months to go. I was 68, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebrown Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Try Kiatnakin Bank (Pattaya Klang). I was 67 on retirement extension when they granted me a 3 year 50% loan on a nearly new pick-up. No Guarantor was needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzarella Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Many possibilities and variations, also depends if will be a bank loan or a private lender company, and if the car is new or used. A private lender will be more flexible but the interest rate on the loan will be higher than from the bank Can be done with a large down payment, about 40 to 50 % Can be done if you own a paid-off property in your name, like a condo. Can be done if you declare taxes in Thailand Can be done with a Thai individual collateral with a good job or a paid off property, and a good credit record. And... Loans in general for Thai or Farang only before 66 years of age... Example... If you are 60 years old the loan maximun term will be 6 years or less. A 30 years old Thai can qualify for a 36 years loan just showing a good job history, most for land and homes. Cars loans can be up to 6 years, but also can be refinanced after. In some rare cases a Thai can get a loan with a Farang collateral, if they are married and the Thai have a good credit history in any former financed purchase. In that case the car will be in both names, and can be transfered in the Farang name after paid off or considered common property in case of a divorce. Same with a house under construction loan. My case with my ex-Thai wife. Every bank, every lender, and every lawyer, will provide different scenarios....
