haymanpl Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I would like to register my new motorbike in my own name rather than my Thai partners. Phuket town immigration are requesting 600 baht. Does anyone know the correct process as i thought it was done at the Department of Transportation and was supposed to be a free service. I find this a bit discriminatory as Thais don't pay this extra registration fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matzzon Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 You might find it discrimatory, but the two questions are: What can you do to change it? Do you want the motobike in your name? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 You need a residence letter from immigration or your embassy to the DLT. If you have a work permit or yellow house book, you can use that instead. There is no fee listed at immigration but most immigration offices wants a fee or let you wait two months. Some will refuse and tell you to contact your embassy. Never heard that the registration transfer at DLT is free, I have always paid for the transfer. Please report if you get it for free at DLT.

As said if you have a yellow house book it works. Thais have a blue house book. Nothing discriminatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing discriminatory. How do i get a Yellow House book if i'm renting on a retirement visa? I find it odd that i have to pay to transfer registration on a brand new motorbike??? I think the problem here is that the shop was supposed to do this for me so i need to take the paperwork back to them so they can complete the transfer.

PoorSucker Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 So you can't get a yellow house book, then you need a residence certificate, still not discrimination as Thais must produce a house book. The shop pays the registration fee, you need to bring them a residence certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agusts Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 (edited) Certificate of residence at Phuket immigration main office is 300 baht each, well, was in Feb and May this year when I got them ...maybe gone up now....! DLT transfer also cost a bit, depends on cc capacity of bike too...but not much, maybe 200 bahts for a small scooter... Sorry, but if you are complaining about a few hundred baht maybe should swap your new motorbike for a bicycle...no registration or gas or licence or tax needed... ! lol Edited August 27, 2019 by Agusts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
