Car Purchase Farang Name

[ZOOKA]

Hi

Im

[ZOOKA]

Sorry my computers playing up

I am looking to buy a new car next year ideally for cash from a main dealer in Hua Hin Honda City.

I will only be on a 30 day visa but will have the yellow house book and various utility bills in my name. Thai Co paperwork also if needed

Will this suffice or would a 1 yr Non immigrant O type visa assit??? or do I need a work permit???

Obviously I will check with the dealer. Hopefully paying cash will help??

Any experiences welcome

Thanks

I think you will need a "Letter of Residency" from Immigration as I did when i bought my 2 cars (not at the same time). You should be able to get the letter if you show your yellow house book.

Thanks!

I thought that the main dealer would be able to register the car into a farang name if you paid cash for a new car??

Anyone know the score please??

Thanks

Or a work permit

In the latest paper issue of Phuketgazette there are a foreigner asking if he can buy a second hand car!

The reply from the second hand dealer is that he can buy car, but will have to pay for it in cash.

If he want to buy a car on hire purchase he will need a work permit.

Is this now a standard procedure all round or is it based on a bit goodwill. I have previously bought cars by hire purchase

and have never had any work permit!
