I have a Hungarian friend that wants to register a second hand motorcycle in his name what forms does he have to have to accomplish this? He has a work permit but doesn't know how to go about to register the bike. Thank you for any help you people can supply.

Hope this helps, courtesy Asia Bikes:

First of all you will need a non-B or a non-O visa in your passport.Then you will need to go to your embassy and get a letter of proof of where you live, Embassy's will vary in price from about 1,500BHT to 2,000BHT a letter. If you have a work permit you may not need a letter from your embassy. If you are on the move a lot then you may want to put the address of your company on to your green book.Fees for changing your name to a book is 350BHT, the transfer fee is 100BHT, and then there is an extra fee of 5BHT that in total comes to 455BHT.Changing your number plate will cost you 100BHT.If you have a motorcycle and you want to change the color of it or it has been changed but not yet in the green book then that is an extra charge of 15BHT.

To tax and insure your motorcycle you will need the green book in your name, or your Thai wife's or Thai partners name,or a person that is Thai. Tax is 100BHT for one year for all motorcycles. Motorcycle insurance depending on the size (cc) starts at about 350BHT for a small bike and up to 1000BHT for a big bike, this is only at a transport department's office, this is a government insurance policy not a private policy, private policy's will probably charge you more for the same thing. Insurance in Thailand will not be the same as in your home country. Make sure you get the full details of a policy before paying for one,you may not be covered for everything you want.

If you buy the motorcycle secondhand, you need a Motorcycle ownership transfer form

I was thinking more along the lines of a list of things you need, like:

1) The 2 transfer forms

2) Letter from your embassy

I guess this has to be translated into Thai

3) 2 Copies of your passport

4) 2 Copies of your visa

5) 2 Copies of your work permit

6) 2 Copies of your rental agreement

Is this all that is required?

have a look at thread "Green book", How do I

Surely one of us can make a sticky ??

This question is asked every other day !!
