Meridian007 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I've just realised that my tax sticker is overdue, what do I need to do to renew it? I searched for an answer, but only found posts about where to put it on your bike. I seem to remember something about being able to do it at post offices, but are there only certain ones you can use? what do I need to bring? Thanx!

johng Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I seem to remember someone on here saying you can pay at the post office..tried searching for that but the search engine is bad. Also heard you can pay the tax for 5 years in advance ( saw the sticker on some ones bike) but when I asked at the transport office in Chonburi ...they said the only advanced payment option is to pay 3 months in advance of the sticker expiry date and only for one year ????????? To get the tax I believe you have to have evidence that you have the compulsary insurance, your green or blue book. and the fee. If your car is over 7 years old or motorbike 5 years old, to get the compulsary insurance you have to have the TorRorOr ( road roadworthiness certificate ) that you can get from a local garage with this sign. They really should try and sort out the process of registering new owners, changing provinces paying tax etc at the moment its a bureaucratic nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridian007 Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 Do we have to do a road worthiness every year? I did one last year when I first registered the bike, but now I just want to pay the tax. Ahhh, wonderful bureaucracies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12DrinkMore Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 They really should try and sort out the process of registering new owners, changing provinces paying tax etc at the moment its a bureaucratic nightmare Never had a problem yet, just sometimes takes a few weeks. If your car is over 7 years old or motorbike 5 years old, to get the compulsary insurance you have to have the TorRorOr ( road roadworthiness certificate ) that you can get from a local garage with this sign. The insurance company has NEVER required this, although they did kindly bring it to my attention that the Transport Department require it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Never had a problem yet, just sometimes takes a few weeks. not a problem if you don't mind wasting 2 days doing 150km round trip on both occasions not to mention the very unhelpfull government employees at the Chonburi office that seem to delight in sending you off for another copy of this and that document..luckily for me my better half delt with the bureaucrats ....I did the driving and payments. Yes I know now that we should have taken the offer at the office out by the regents school ( Pattaya ) when they said they would to do the transfer etc for 800 baht. The insurance company has NEVER required this Yep sorry, my mistake the TorRorOr is needed for the tax not for the insurance.
