Hi folks,

When buying/selling a car, a foreigner needs a form which proofs his/her address.
How recent, (how old, how many weeks/months max), may this form be?
Appreciate your response!

Thanks!

Not over than 30 days old.

 

This was D.L.T Chatuchak (Bangkok)

FWIW - I sold two bikes recently without a certificate of residence - I just copied all my passport pages, completed all the paperwork (2 pages on each bike) from DLT and sent the buyer on their way. It depends upon the area / office what they require.
 

I think the guy said he was going to use an agent to do the transfer, if you can’t be bothered to go to immigration, might be worth a shot.

Proof of address is not needed for sale (at least in Bkk).

 

Sold a handful of cars and a couple of motorcycles over the years….

AFAIK the DLT in Chonburi is the only DLT which requires one from the seller. In all other provinces it's not required.

I’m in Khon Kaen, I sold to a Thai in Udon, so I posted in Udon/Issan/bikers fb groups for info and basically most of Udon people told me it was 100% required, guys who said no it wasn’t were ridiculed. 
The generals consensus of expat bikers that it was generally required.

 

The Thai guy just wanted the bikes so he could ride one at the weekend, so I just gave him copies, completed forms, signatures and never heard from him again.
 

Perfect for me.

I personally sold a motorbike which was in my name in Udon Thani to a Thai, a certificate of residence was definitely not required. We did the transfer at the DLT, no agent involved.
