Paperwork For Registration?

[canincm]

I agreed to buy a friend's Honda Dream for a few thousand baht when she leaves town. It has plates and a green book, but she never got around to registering it in her name or taking care of the tax/insurance when she bought it. She has the book and an invoice from the dealer that she bought it from.

What do I need to do to get the bike in my name?

Thanks a million!

....Honda Dream ..plates and a green book ..... invoice from the dealer that she bought it from. ////

hi.

u have to contact the

dealer who owns the bike.

the paperwork might

take several months,

mine took 5 months,

so patience is needed!

i am not sure how long

your visa has to be valid,

i have heard some rules

they have.

correct if i am wrong.

To clarify: She bought it second-hand from a used bike dealer... we both have non-B visas. Does it make any difference? Will I need a copy of her passport? Work Permit? Or just something from the shop?

You need transfer papers and ID card from the owner thats listed in the book.. Without their assistance you cannot legally get it changed. Currently its their bike not hers.

You can sometimes have it fudged over for a small payment but thats hardly relevant on a few 1000 baht value dream.
