hadock Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Hello, it is the first time i will buy a second hand bike. I am living in BKK, non immigrant o visa. What documents i need to register in my name? Is it the same procedure if i buy the bike in BKK or in another province, lets say Hua Hin? Any difference in supporting documents buying from a thai or a foreigner? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really ID's from both buyer and seller. Proof of address. Two papers that you can get in DLT to be signed by seller if he/she doesn't want go to DLT with you.

steve187 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 if you buy a bike from a province other than your own then the number plates will need to be changed to local ones, ar job requiring 2 trips in some areas, if buring in own province best if both parties go the DLT, and do the transfer there, bike needs to go as well, can us an agent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i know there is no longer a need to change plates. It is more practical to do so but it is not required. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do the transfer in another province than where the bike is registered the registration will be moved to this province and it will get new plates 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 From my notes again for the "umpteenth" time ???? Thai seller needs to supply Signed copy of ID card front and back ( not expired ) Signed copy of house registration ( not always required ) signed " nungsue moub umnart หนังสือมอบอำนาจ ( if seller is not going with you to DLT ) signed "beb kum kor own le rup own แบบคำขอโอนและรับโอน ขส.บ. ท. - 11 green/ blue book signed by current owner Foreigner seller needs to supply certificate of residence from immigration ( should be free at immigration but varies from place to place ) or instead of certificate of residence a work permit or yellow housebook is accepted in certain provinces if foreign seller has left Thailand then a signed copy of the exit from Thailand stamp in their passport instead of residence certificate and valid visa stamp. (Certificate of residence not required in all provinces ? / DLT's Pattaya requires it ) sometimes the police station will give you this document too. copy passport photo page copy of visa page and or extension ( not expired ) signed " nungsue moub umnart ( if seller is not going with you to DLT ) signed "beb kum kor own le rup own ( if seller is not going with you to DLT ) green/blue book signed by current owner If the vehicle has a number plate from another province then you ( the new buyer not the seller ) must either change the ownership name in that province or go to the MAIN DLT for your province and have them " move" the vehicle to your province this requires a new number plate and 2 or more trips before the whole process of name change and province change is completed. samples of the required documents in the zip file below.

seedy Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 The above is not enforced at ALL DLT offices "for the "umpteenth" time" - check your local DLT for THEIR requirements 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes there can be differences between provinces as to which documents they require for example at Chonburi DLT they only except a letter from immigration for proof of address of a foreigner.

It is more practical to do so but it is not required. I bought a Bangkok bike and had to change plates to Rayong. Go to where you'll be doing the paperwork to buy and have them give you the forms and they can mark where signatures are needed. Bring the bike so the office can identify the engine numbers.

Your best bet is to go to inspection station, doesn't have to be the Land office and ask them specifics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a bike and the local tax/mot place said I have to go to DLT in Sakon but they have someone can do for me. He takes paper first time then takes the bike on his pick up. My problem is I don't have a yellow book but they said get a copy of my mother in laws book and that will be enough.........my problem is everyone else say I need a letter from immigration. I am 74 and have no desire to drive my bike 130km there and 130km back....what is your take on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for my extremely late reply after my hiatus On page 5 of the Blue/Green book is where the owner needs to sign...maybe not all or few DLT's actually enforce this ??? but better to be safe than sorry say for instance the owner moved overseas or is incapacitated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
