Bike In Falangs Name

[lennya12threh]

Id prefer to have my next bike in my name and so would my girlfriend. What docuemtns do I need to get this done, and is it a hassle? I know it can be done. Right now I have a Non-imm b visa, valid for another 6 months, and after will have easy access to a students visa, as i plan on studying at a very reputable institution after 6 months.

I want to buy a bike 2 hours away from Bangkok, and plan to go there tuesday morning, and stay one night, arriving in bangkok by 4pm wednesday. Can it get transfered in a day, assuming the seller is quikc with helping me upon the scheduled arrival? I know with a thai name it can. This bike is not a big bike. Just an nsr 150.....

Thanks for any input.

All you will need is a certificate of residence,which you can get at your local immigration office,and copy's of your passport and visa.You will have to fill in some papers which are in thai but I assume you can get them at the registration office.Bike must have a valid insurance at the time of transfer.Bike can be transfered in a few hours.

When I bought the bike in my name, I gave them my passport and drivers licence. Was in my name in hour. So I was able to take the m/c back

Nice. this is all convincing. I have a thai drivers liscence too.

The residence document that was mentioned. Is this the same one required to et the drivers liscence?_ If so, i recall i needed to get it from the canadian embassy and it cost me 1400 baht or something.

It is possible to get a letter of residence detailing your address in Thailand from your local Amphur for free or maybe a little tea money.

Take along your girlfriend and house book and get her to explain what you need it for.
