hill16 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hi folks, Does anyone have up to date info on the requirements in CM for transferring ownership of a vehicle (motorbike) from one party (the wife - Thai) to another (me - farang) please? Also, must I go to the Land and Transport Office on CM-Lamphun Road opposite the Holiday Inn? Kind regards, Hill16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womblejamie Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 The last time I done it, presuming you have a non b or other similar was to take ur passport and pay 500 baht to immigration for a letter to say ur a temporary resident and can buy a bike in ur name, then down to the transport office with ur wife/gf for backup and translation to transfer into ur name, proof of address is always a good one, but you can probably find a small time lawyer who'll do it all for about 300-500 baht and take the inconvinience of the transport office away from you. hope helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harrry Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) If you have a current Work Permit you should not need the immigration letter. Edited May 6, 2009 by harrry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 The one thing I don't get is why it's necessary to transfer it at all if your wife already is the registered owner? All it will accomplish is turn a first hand vehicle into a second hand one (or second to third, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
