Foreign ownership of vehicles

Recommended Posts

I've heard various stories about the rules of foreigners owning vehicles in Thailand, but I don't know what the real deal is.  For example, I've heard that a foreigner may own only a motorbike, if one has a work permit.  What I want to know is, may a foreigner legally own a normal car (i.e., be the named owner on the title or "tabien rot"), and if so, under what circumstances (is a work permit required)?

Thanks,

Chuck

Yes you can definitely own a car here as a falang.

You do not need a work permit and you do not need house papers.   You must have a non imm visa and get confirmation of residence from the immigration police.

I know of three falangs that have done this and have seen the registration papers with their name on it.
