December 2, 201510 yr Hey all, any help or info. What do I need to do to buy and register in my name. I come to Thailand regularly, and my name is on my uncles registered Thai business.
December 2, 201510 yr This question has been answered a million times before. A quick search will help you out.
December 2, 201510 yr Copy your passport, white entry card, and entrance stamp (maybe this step is only needed for driver's license, but I do it all at the same time every year). Get a copy of your lease or letter from place you are staying. Get 2 passport photos. Go to immigration and fill out the residency paperwork. When they call your number, give the guy your documents and pay the fee. I think 200 baht for each copy. Come back later to pick up. I do not know what city you are in, but I am in Pattaya. Go to the Department of Land and Transportation. Across there is an inspection station where you get the vehicle inspected for like 80 baht. Take that paper along with the green book (ownership papers) back across to DLT and go pay the insurance... Come to think of it, whenever I register mine I never need any of this. I only go to the window with my green book and pay the insurance lady the fee (like 120 baht) and she gives me the receipt. I go to the other window with my greenbook and pay the guy for the registration. He gives me the paper and I walk upstairs to do my driver's license. When I originally bought my bike at the auction the auction broker handled the initial registration and changing over paperwork. That was over 5 years ago. But the place you are buying the bike from should know what to do. Unless maybe you are buying from a private seller. I think you do need that residency thing to do the initial one though because I remember there being a box to check on the paperwork at immigration if you needed the certificate because you were buying a car or motorbike.

So, no need for Thai Visa? No, as we have found out the answers change quite often, and the same question must be asked from time to time.
December 2, 201510 yr you will basically need to same documents required for you to sell your colorado. http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/875450-what-i-need-to-sell/

So, no need for Thai Visa? No, as we have found out the answers change quite often, and the same question must be asked from time to time. Nonsense. Of course there can be questions that haven't been answered before or variations of already answered questions that might change the result. But this is a basic question that has really been answered many times before. By your logic you'd have to ask the question again and again because answers will change often. Though I do have to wonder why there is no sticky topic about this fundamental information. Anyways, if you are buying new from a dealer, then they'll tell you what they need.

It's not like the procedure changes every year, it's been the same since day one. Every new post is full of the same misinformation ie a cert res is needed to sell a bike, etc, etc ..

It doesn't so much change from year to year, as from DLT office to DLT office. Up-to-date info from various locations is indeed useful. No idea why people are whining about a new thread. Nothing useful to do, I suppose...
December 2, 201510 yr Come on OP, simple search will bring hundreds if not thousands of results https://www.google.com/search?q=buing+a+bike+in+thailand&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
December 2, 201510 yr You'll need your Passport and a Certificate of Residence as proof of address. If your buying new the dealer will complete all the registration. If second hand, you need to go to the DLT office with the Seller to re-register the bike.
December 3, 201510 yr I would imagine you just go into a shop and they will do it all for you.....or privately, same same.
December 3, 201510 yr I did it 30 years ago when there was no Internet to ask on. If the bike shop don't know go to a different one that does.
December 3, 201510 yr Remember you will need to pay the total amount, either by cash or credit card, you will not be able to finance.
December 3, 201510 yr Remember you will need to pay the total amount, either by cash or credit card, you will not be able to finance. Wrong. It will be more difficult yes but you can certainly do it. You'll need a guarantor for example.
