This can be done at the department of land transport on Hang Dong Road (about a mile past the Tesco Lotus heading out of CM), and can be done in your name if on a non-immgrant visa, but you'll need to visit CM Immigration first and get yourself a letter of residence first. If you're buying through a dealer, they can handle everything except for the letter of residence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This used to be the case, but unfortunately they will not issue them any more on a non immigrant visa. You will have to pop along to your country's consulate, and pay through the nose for a consular letter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hrmm, I'm sure I saw the sign on the counter when I last did my 90-day report, but that was almost 3 months ago now - are you sure of this? Last I knew they'd limited it to those on the 1-year extension scheme and PR's, not a blanket on all Non-O's.. It'll certainly make life difficult for those who don't have consulates locally.

There was a thread on this a while ago, with people getting refused a letter of confirmation of residence even on a one year retirement visa. I think it was regarding driving licences, but same difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got a new one myself , but because I brought it Friday and came back today I knew that it would take the Embassy in BK 2 days to process it and I needed to come back today...foolishly I thought I could get what I need at immigration here in CM on an "O" Visa Oh <deleted> looks like the Missus could be getting a new car !!!!

Maejo Man Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 can i register it in wife's name? Of course you can, providing she is a Thai national and you love her dearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter whether you are a US national living in Mukdahan, or a British national living in Chiangrai, and supply the correct supporting documents (lease etc.) I see no reason why a Chiangmai consulate would not issue you one. They do it in Bangkok for expatriates residing all over the kingdom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
