KevinN Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 You can buy a vehicle in your name,but you will need the verification of your address. And you will have to get a Thai drivers license and for that you will also need the verification of address plus other papers such as a certificate of health from a doctor.

phuketrichard Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 Hi; Anyone with a non-immigrant visa can buy a car or motorbike. Once you have that you go to immigration and tell them you want to buy a car or. they make you fill out a form and pay anywhere from 200- to 500 baht and that's it., (once I even got it free) As far as license they have never asked to see my thai licnse but it sure does help if your stopped for no seatbelt, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phuketrichard Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 If you mean the letter from immigration, I asked for 2 copies which they stamped for me, (i just brought another honda dream last week) and they said they are good for 1 month.

The insurance company may accept it, but the police will not. The only vaild icences here are International or Thai!! PS I have had comprehensive insurance for years and never been asked for my licence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
