And so the exodus of quality expats begins. This time it's personal

[Briggsy]

I am trying to put together a plan, the goal being to buy and register a motorcycle in my own name. I have done this a few times a long time ago but things have changed, it seems.

 

I am in my fifties, in Chonburi province and on a DTV receiving 180 days each entry. I last entered 3 days ago.

 

Here is my clueless plan.

 

1. Get a TM30 in my passport.

2. Put down a deposit on a new motorbike and get some sort of letter from the motorbike dealer.

3. Take the letter to immigration to get a certificate of residence.

4. Take the certificate of residence back to the dealer. Pay the remainder of the cost of the bike. This should allow the dealer to apply for the registration in my name while allowing me to ride away with the bike.

5. Pick up the registration from the dealer within 90 days.

 

What could possibly go wrong? 😋

 

Please let me know if this is the right way to go about this. I am pretty sure it isn't.

Thanks, that's great information.

 

It was so much easier in the old days but there you go.
