How much to make a Car Passport and processing time?

[marinediscoking]

Does anyone know how long and the costs to make this document for a thai registered car at the land and transport office? I want to take my car out of thailand for a short trip.

Take the registration document, your passport and if available your tambien baan with you.

Go with the car you want the pink book for, the chassis number will be checked!

Take care the car does not have any external damage.

The price will stagger you, 75 baht for the first issue, 50 baht for the renewal

The time needed?

In Khon Kaen around 10 minutes.

But it might be a couple of hours.

Attention:

The prices mentioned are the official charges for the oink bppl.

Anything else is........ehhhhhhh

From the above post: ".... and if available your tambien baan with you .....". Just got back from my local transport office, Amphur Kantharalak in Sisaket province, in an attempt to get a car 'passport' document.

They asked for proof of my address. I had the blue thabien baan of my wife (and my wife!) with me - not good enough since my name is not in that housebook. Maybe I should have put my name in it as father of my child, that might have worked; I cannot of course be registered at my address in my wife's housebook. Unfortunately I do not have a yellow thabien baan - I tried that a year ago, but ended up putting it in the 'too difficult' bucket when the Amphur wanted inter-alia a letter from "my Government showing my last address and that I have moved" (<deleted>!). I had a letter (residence certificate) from Sisaket immigration quoting my address for purposes of obtaining my 5 year driving license a year ago - not good enough - my wife interpreted that I needed to get a new one from immigration quoting the purpose of the letter as being for a car passport.

I rather lost my cool at the last suggestion (I know, not productive) but my wife, who was with me at the office - and again had to cringe at my display of annoyance - later added that the lady had said that the certificate was out of date. I can understand that as a reasonable response by the bureaucratic mind, if proof that my address is the current one so important (the need for which seems rather dubious and it seems as though it is generally not required elsewhere?).

So my car passport is going to cost another 500 baht - immigration letters cost that in Sisaket - plus another 250 baht diesel money. Oh dear. Another day in paradise spoiled!

I'm in the same situation regarding the Yellow Book...

Tried 3 times without success. Every time with a new (500Baht) letter from immigration, they just kept moving the goalposts to make it more difficult.
