ubonjoe Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yes it is possible and has been done by many. You first would need to get a certificate of residence from immigration in order to register it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langsuan Man Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yes it is possible and has been done by many. You first would need to get a certificate of residence from immigration in order to register it. or pay an outrageous amount to your embassy to get a residency certificate from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, if you have a Yellow Book yes. What you have just shows what you own in Thailand, not where you reside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 You can normally get a certificate of residence from immigration without a problem. But at some offices that will depend upon what you have. Do you have a visa entry or an extension of stay you obtained from immigration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailampang2012 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yes, you can. If you have prove of monthly income and use at least 50% down to buy it, some companies will also finance the car for you. AEON may be one of those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a certificate of residence from Pattaya is easier than many offices. They even do them for tourist visa entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinot Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I'll be happily making my last monthly payment on a Mazda 2 at Thanachart Bank this month. I have a retirement visa. Can't remember what I did exactly for the residency permit. I think the condo management where I rent gave me a statement and I took it to Phuket immigration to get it.
