watchoutfarang Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hi there, I am looking to sell my motorbike and have heard that I need to get another certificate of residency from immigration (I live in Pattaya) so that the buyer can transfer the ownership of the bike into their name. Is this true? Does anyone there know the exact paperwork I need? Thanks for any replies. watchoutfarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kf6vci Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Huh? You got your green book sorted. At this point, I would worry about the new buyer having all ducks in a row. Who cares about you as a seller? Not sure if I understand you correctly. Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madjbs Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yes, you need to provide a signed copy of your passport, visa, work permit (or residency letter) to the buyer of the bike. You also need to sign the owner transfer document and a power of attorney letter (if you don't want to have to go to the transport office with him). And make sure you sign the green book.

LivinLOS Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 The seller needs a residency stamp ?? Down our way the seller needs only provide thier passport copy (rear page and entry stamp, visa not important for seller) and the signed transfer forms. The buyer does need the residency stamp or pay an agent to provide a tabien baan (which they started accepting in the last few months I think).

The rules are not consistent hence it is impossible to make definite statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bard Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 What bike? Is it a big bike? Does it have a 100% legal greenbook or does it have a BS greenbook? It is very easy to sell 100% legal big bikes for a good sum of cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderpuff Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Matches my experience. Passport copy with all relevant pages. They would have accepted my Dr Lisc - except that I have recently moved, never changed the Tabien Rote & thus the dr lisc & green book don't match. They told me to go get a letter from my embassy. I'll use the same letter to register the new bike. Selling transaction will get a nice crisp photocopy. BKK obviously. Gray book but never had a problem yearly registration.

mercman24 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 why the fik do they make everything hard here, in the UK, you give the buyer the GREEN book after tearing off the bottom bit which has his address and signature on, you send it off to the department of transport, basically to say you have sold this vehicle to this person, job done, stupid me, i am dreaming again, a pity they dont look at other countries to see the way they do things, but NO Thai know best lol, who wants to know the bloody ins and outs of a dam passport, res cert etc, (sorry they do) rant over time for a Chang.

johng Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 14 minutes ago, jackdd said: Can a Thai with just his passport register a vehicle in the UK? Probably..I'm not Thai but registering ( transferring ownership) a vehicle in the UK is much easier than here as @mercman24 says you just send the tear off bit to Swansea (DVLA) they send a new log book (green/blue book) to the new owner via post office..you don't have to take the vehicle to be inspected at a crowded DLT or change number plates if you bought it in London but live in Glasgow... any way this thread is 10 years old !!! ???? and Thailand still as complicated as it was back then.
