Sandboxer Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 ALmost 50 and looking into getting the OA. Here's a screenshot of the official e-visa https://thaievisa.go.th/long-stay-visa requirements page. The way it reads, only OX can purhase/register vehicles. Or is this a graphics TiT-up on their part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is absolutely correct...at Immigration. Learned it the hard way a few years back. Went to the US Embassy (not sure about other countries) and was able to get a notarized statement affirming/confirming my address which was sufficient for driving license.

nigelforbes Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 There is absolutely no problem buying a vehicle on any long stay visa, O-A or O, whether or not it can be done on a short stay visa I'm unsure. I've bought a new car on an O-A visa and also a pickup, no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjinchiangrai Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I had done the 90 day anyway but registering the car and bike was easy enough. I got 4 residence letters and did the vehicles and licenses at the same time, Now I have to go renew ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oz folk cannot obtain "letter" from embassy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
