Motorcycle Transfer of Ownership

[jackoholly]

Hi all, I have just bought a motorcycle from a friend however this friend is not longer in Thailand. I would like to transfer the ownership of the bike into my name but how would I do this without this guy in the country.

Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks

Cannot.

cannot unless he left all the paperwork signed before he left

You need his passport and visa copies too as well as the tm6 and visa stamp all signed as well in some offices....

I don't think it will work thesedays because for all they know, you might have stolen this bike without the owners consent

If you have some documents but not all of them your best bet is a bike shop... They will already have contact with someone at the dlt so it's normally smoother to let them do things but without paperwork it may well be impossible

But I thought you need to show a residency certificate to be able to sell a motorcycle no??? If he is no longer living in Thailand then how would that work?

Do you know of any motorcycle shops that will have a contact at the DLT?

Thanks guys.

keep it in his name and just do the road tax and insurance each year.
