whatchamacallit Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 This is not a new purchase but a renewal - We did this last year but we forget whether we need the letter of residence or not? Any input will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any input will be greatly appreciated. For renewal you will only need the registration book.They will even not ask for passport or anything.

JohnC Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Car registration is only renewed on change of owner when a letter of residence is required, annual road tax however does not require a residence certificate but does require valid insurance certificate.

monty Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Blue car book, the little slip from the compulsory insurance and some cash. If you car is younger then 7 years, you can do this at any post office, or at the Transport Department (behind the international School of the Regents). If older then 7 years you have to go to the transport department for a technical check. Or alternatively one of the licensed test centers. There's a few on Sukhumvit, you can recognize them by a yellow sign looking like a big sprocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a post office on Soi 5 in Jomtien - the same street the immigration office is on. Is that an official government post office or privately own post office? Can I take my truck there to be re-registered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Just checked on one of our cars, the 8th tax payment was the first one where we needed to go for the technical check-up.... So if you (or previous owner) registered new in 2002, 2009 will be your 8th tax payment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PattayaParent Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 You can get the tech check up done at the place opposite the Transport Office that's behind Regent's School. I think it opens at 8 and if you're in the first few you'll be all done including the rego renewal in 1/2 an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRUNCHER Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) Could I just clarify please. If my car is over 7 years old and I get the technical check done on Sukhumvit, do I still need to go all the way out to the Transport Office or can I do this (vehicle licence renewal ) at a post office? Thanks Edited May 28, 2009 by CRUNCHER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 do I still need to go all the way out to the Transport Office or can I do this (vehicle licence renewal ) at a post office? Yes that would be usefull info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monty Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Nope, the Sukhumvit shops do all the work, no need to go to the main office... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Monty can you clarify please. if we go to a Sukhumvit test center for the technical checkup ( MOT in the UK ) will they also issue the tax disc at the test center ? or do we have to go to the Land transport office for the Tax disc ? or can we go to the post office after being issued with the MOT ? or maybe the test center sends a "runner" to the land transport office on our behalf ( for a fee of course ) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longball53098 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 The test centers do the check. They have no computer to do the road tax and issue decals. They may offer a service to send a "runner" to the Land Dept for the payments. I do my annual road tax payments at my insurance company offices. Sort of a one stop shopping trip. Pay all my insurances and the road tax. They do the leg work to the Land Office. Costs me 200 baht for the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoldgit Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) As a matter of interest how much is the road tax, Honda Jazz? Edited May 29, 2009 by theoldgit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSnake Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) No just your Registration Book and the renewal fee, if the car is over 5 years old(?) you must have it check(smog) and present the results along with the renewal fee Edited May 29, 2009 by BigSnake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
