perhaps I can be educated here since having bought & registered in my name a ( used) car on Visa Exempt status in 2017, and properties here on Visa Exempt in 2004 & 2006, what has Imm. got to do with legally owning and registering a car or anything here ?

Some (I thought all) LTD offices require a Certificate of Residence to register a vehicle in a foreigner's name and IOs will provide that, that's all that it's "got to do with Immigration".

 

I don't believe that the same requirement exists for buying property.

But, it does seem that some people, WhiteBuffaloATM, for example, are lucky to have special exemptions from those Cert of Residence/WP requirements that the rest of us have to comply with in order to register vehicles in our names!   C'est la vie.

Don't know about WP exemption, but maybe, as myself, they are PR and the no need for Cert of Res.

He said that he was here visa exempt, not with PR.  I believe a WP is an acceptable alternative to the CoR.

Didn't say that they did, I said that I believe LTD officers will accept a WP as an alternative to CoR.

The certificate of residence is required... to provide an address.

 

Some work permits do not have an address, they do not satisfy the requirements of the Land transport Department and are not accepted.

 

Anything I've written above do you not understand ?

Can you not read any of what I've written?   

 

I said that I believe LTD officers will accept a WP as an alternative to CoR.   I believe that is correct (regardless of whether the WP shows an address).

Which part of they only accept IF THEY HAVE AN ADDRESS is it that you are struggling to understand ?

I have a yellow book and pink ID card and my local DLT office in Chiang Mai Province still require the certificate of residence even for renewing the driving licence

Ok, as you typed in bolded, underlined capitals you must be right, I suppose!   

 

FYI, some LTDs do accept WP in the absence of a CoR, whether you like it, or understand it or not.

They accept a document that does not have an address in it as proof of an address.

 

Yeah righto.
