montereyjp Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 As already stated if you have a work permit you do not need a residence certificate... And of course visa versa.... No work permit then you need the residence certificate.... And I agree with the poster who stated do not hand over the money until the blue book is verified... And btw a DLT service agent can do that in a matter a minutes.. But then again if you like to spend hours standing in line and sitting in a non air conditioned building while they process your paperwork then you will enjoy your time at DLT... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where does one find these 'DLT service agents'? At the pattaya centre they are based across the road on the far left hand side. I sold a bike recently and they did all the paperwork for the buyer for 400 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andreandre Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) I am buying a cheap car for a mate who is coming to Thailand for 3 months .He aims to drive it around and then give it to me to onsell after he leaves. I am buying a car this week for him, and want to know if i buy it he can use it and leave it in the name of the seller/? I will get from seller;; Blue book Signed photocopy of Thai ID card..or signed copy of passport info The two pertinent DLT forms signed as needed by seller Receipt for payment.. Keep all this paperwork and sell the car later using all this info Any problems that i might not be seeing in doing this please? PS I will naturally be checking engine number to number in blue book and rego label etc.. Edited August 7, 2014 by andreandre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmouthboyo Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 This might work but I found with a scooter I bought that if it has been signed over to someone else but not fully processed via the DLT etc and then sold onto someone else that the last person has to transfer it to the previous people officially first and basically pay for 2 transfers. i.e. I bought the scooter from a guy who had bought the scooter recently from someone else, complete with all the signed licence scans and forms etc, he then did the same for me, signed his own licence scans and completed forms but when I went to officially register at the DLT I had to paw to have it transferred to him and then transferred to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thairastawoman Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 OK So from my research am I correct in thinking the seller needs to provide: Signed photocopy of his passport Picture Page, Visa and Work Permit Blue Book with his name signed as the owner 2 X DLT Forms This document to give permission for car to be transfered as he will not be at local DLT office This document to actually transfer ownership I will then be able to take all this along with signed photocopies of my passport, visa and workpermit to the DLT and as it is Tax'd and Insured until January simply pay a small fee to transfer the car legally to my name? Anything I am missing of have got wrong? Cheers Guys Nobody needs a work permit to buy a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johng Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 (edited) Only strange thing was the guys wife's signature was not anywhere in the blue book. He phoned her (she was at work) and asked and she said it doesn't need to be and the signatures are the people who processed the transfers? Is this correct? The owner of the vehichle as stated in the blue book should sign it where it says ลงชื่อ............................ผู้ถือกรรมสิทธิ์ Some DLT's are more lax about it than others but best to get it signed. You can also use a "Yellow house book" instead of residence certificate or work permit. though I read on here somewhere that Pattaya don't like "yellow house books" at the moment.
