Documents for Residence Certificate (Jomtien)

[gmac]

I 've had these before but can never remember or find the info by searching on here so at the risk of being a complete pain can someone remind me what documents are required at Immigration for a residence certificate for selling a motorbike.. This is what I have and would like to confirm before trekking up to Jomtien.

 

Application form as downloaded from this site

Copy Passport including latest retirement extension

Proof of Address (Internet bill)

Do I need photos?

Anything else?

 

I'm selling 2 motorbikes so assume I will need 2 certs. 

Thanks

I believe 2 photos per certificate. MS>

Thanks, that sounds vaguely familiar.

If you need 2 certs you will need 3 photos, copy of TM6

Thanks all, I reckon I'm good to go.

What if you don't have a Green Book and don't pay any bills at your accommodation and have no need of a contract?

As the seller, you don't need certificates of residence.

You and your address should already be registered in the green books.

 

The buyer requires proof of address, to register his details in the book after purchase.

Your passport should be sufficient as your ID.

Interesting but as Immigration form box indicates - BUY/SELL Car/Motorbike - it seems that one is required for sale as well.  I have certainly been asked for them

If you don't have the logbook, you can neither tax or insure it.

If you've lost the book the DVL can replace it.

You'll have to pay any tax arrears.

When I bought my first motorcycle, I used Passport and CofR as the buyer.

My name was in English with my Passport number.

I then subsequently obtained a Yellow Tabien Baan and Thai ID card for foreigners.

 

I have since purchased two motorcycles and 2 cars.

All I required was my TB and ID card.

My name was in Thai and Thai ID number.

 

I have sold 2 motorcycles and 1 car.

All I required was my Thai ID card.

The buyer needed proof of address.

 

You already submitted proof of address via a CofR and that is recorded in the log book.

You don't have to prove it again when selling, just your proof of ID used to purchase it.

At least not at my DVL you don't.

Avoid going to Jomtien, they will tell you anything to get another 300 baht.

They even want to see the green book / purchase invoice for a motorbike before they issue the residence cert. i.e. you have to buy first which is a change within the last year

The SIL didn't tax or insure her bike for 3 years because she lost the logbook.

She sold it without logbook to a villager, where the chances of being stopped by Police are remote.

(Lots of Thais do this rather than obtain a new book and pay tax arrears).

 

She agreed to accept half of it's true value over 12 monthly instalments.

The guy defaulted after 2 payments.

After 12 months she managed to retrieve the bike, but it was in a sorry state and she couldn't resell it in it's current condition. Cost 4,500 in repairs and 3,500 for a logbook and tax arrears.

She then sold the bike for it's market value, 15,000.

 

If she'd just replace the logbook and paid tax arrears in the first place it would have cost around 2.000 and she could have made a 13,000 profit, but that isn't how they think.

They never used to charge a 'service fee' at my IO, but they had a 'tip' box.

When BJ took over, the 'no tips' posters went up and the box vanished.

Now BJ has been dismissed, the posters have been removed and they now charge a 'service fee' of 500 baht.

Guess the tips weren't enough previously.
