Foreigners can easily buy a vehicle in Thailand. You need a non-immigrant type visa, and proof of residency in Thailand. Usually a copy of your rental contract and copy of the house paper/letter from landlord, and a trip to Immigration office will result in issue of residency paper.

non imm visa not needed, any kind of permit to stay including visa excempt stamp on entry accepted, as short as 14 days. permit to stay must be valid on day of registration vehicle

Mmmm.. I have heard of folks qualifying with a tourist visa, but I believe the strict rule is a non-imm visa. But the more important criteria to acquire the residency paper from Immigration is a rental address in Thailand, with the supporting paperwork.

do i need address in Thailand for registration a new vehicle?

Yes. As previous stated you need to obtain a residency paper from Immigration, and to obtain that paper you need to supply the paperwork to prove your 'address' in Thailand and that address is written into your vehicle registration book. You could be renting a place or even renting a hotel room, but you would need the cooperation of your landlord to supply the paperwork required by immigration.

if you dont have an adress, some dealers will let you use their adress to get certificate of residence from Immigration

all embassys also issue adress confirmation accepted by DLT, and most of the embassys dont require any document as proof of the adress you say you are at

[langatian]

ok...

thanks for your clarifications..
