Jen65 Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Is it necessary to go all the way out to Highway 36 ( near international school) to renew bike tax ( no test required ) or can it be done more locally ??? Jomtien or Pattaya ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 There are tons of places that will do all the paperwork for you. Just look for the picture of the yellow cog or sprocket which signifies an MOT centre. They will charge you for the service of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrissables Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 As you ride out of Pattaya towards bkk, where the road branches right over a flyover (motorbike not allowed) Keep left and there is is a garage on the left there, where some insurance shops are. If you are in the garage you are looking at the side of the flyover as it rises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johng Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 You can go to the south Pattaya Big C (upstairs near the camera shop) on saturday mornings 9 till 1pm where they have a mini DLT....you will need to have already bought compulsory insurance (Por Ror Bor) and present it along with green bookif / when bike is over 5 years old you have to present a "test" certificate in order to get the insurance.

Yes, this is where I've been going for years, a few doors down is a gym, just put in, car or motorbike, they do all the work if bike or car is 5 years or older takes a bit more time depending on how many others around. After go into office, pay for registration and insurance, pick up the next day. There is a bunch throughout town, but whenever you look never seem to be able to come up with them?

The operating hours are not set in stone. I usually get my tax there but some Saturdays there's nobody there and other times they could be still there at 3 in the afternoon.

johng Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Are they still doing this at Big C on Saturday, i heard somewhere it had stopped.The DLT is still there (most saturdays) what stoped was the insurance companies in the row of shop houses opposite..stoped opening on weekends so now (if you want to DIY)you either get insurance on a week day and tax on Saturday. Or go to one of the nearby test centers (with cog wheel sign) first do vehicle check if necessary and have them issue a compulsory Por Ror Bor insurance then go to Big C and get the tax disc and update blue/green book.

ACIPENSER Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Just saw this thread, which is very closely related to the questions I meant to address in a separate post. Please kindly assist with concrete info, if you have recent hands-on experience with the following issues (for the record I do not speak Thai, nor I have a Thai GF/wife) : * I own a scooter purchased and registered in Chiang Mai, that I brought with me to Pattaya some months ago. The compulsory insurance yearly sticker (Por Ror Bor ?) is now a few days overdue. I understand that office on Sukhumvit, by the flyover, will be able to supply a new sticker without me going personally to the MOT office...Will it be an issue that the bike is registered in Chiang Mai ? Any idea how much should I pay for that service (on top of the couple hundreds baths for the sticker, if I remember properly) ? * Can those service providers also take care of having my scooter registration changed to a Pattaya number plate ? And if so, for how much ? The reason is that I plan to sell it soon and would like to have everything up to date and in order for the future buyer. * What are the steps to follow when selling a motorbike to an individual, what precautions to take, documents to provide ? Appreciate any help/guidance from people who had to both register and renew insurance for a motorbike purchased in a different province ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have the papperwork for the bike in your name, but with the Chiang Mai address? I am sure the shop can't register it, or won't, as you need to go to the transport office in Chonburi city to do so. You need the usual copies of passport, visa, proof of address from immigration etc. I did this myself a few years ago. I can't remember the cost, it was a pain in the arse as you go, leave the paperwork, then go back to collect the new plate and book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean't to back the following day. So two trips Pattaya to Chonburi and back on seperate days. Riding is not an issue, but it's not exactly a nice ride to Chonburi! Also i am not sure how it works, but unless a registered agent, they should not be handing out your green book and numberplate to just anyone i would think.

There is no need to change the registration to a new province you can pay tax and insurance in any province no mater what the registration plate says. As for selling, again there is no need for you to do change provinces let the new buyer deal with all that...they may live in another province anyway and so would have to change it all again. The people at the testing centers can help with all this stuff if you don't want to run around yourself look for this sign some forms and how to fill them in inside the rar file Vehicle transfer2.rar from my notes yet again Quote Thai seller needs to supply Signed copy of ID card front and back ( not expired ) Signed copy of house registration ( not always required ) signed " nungsue moub umnart " หนังสือมอบอำนาจ ( if seller is not going with you to DLT ) signed "beb kum kor own le rup own " แบบคำขอโอนและรับโอน ขส.บ. ท. - 11 green/ blue book signed by current owner Foreigner seller needs to supply certificate of residence from immigration ( should be free at immigration but varies from place to place ) For foreign seller, instead of certificate of residence also work permit or yellow housebook is accepted. if foreign seller has left Thailand then a signed copy of the exit from Thailand stamp in their passport instead of residence certificate and valid visa stamp. (Certificate of residence not required in all provinces ? / DLT's Pattaya requires it ) sometimes the police station will give you this document too. copy passport photo page copy of visa page and or extension ( not expired ) signed " nungsue moub umnart " หนังสือมอบอำนาจ ( if seller is not going with you to DLT ) signed "beb kum kor own le rup own " แบบคำขอโอนและรับโอน ขส.บ. ท. - 11 ( if seller is not going with you to DLT ) green/blue book signed by current owner So list of provinces where residence certificate is required ( from foreign seller ) so far is Chonburi/Pattaya yes Nakhornratchasima/Korat yes Khon Kaen ?? Buriram for sure yes Chiang Mai ? yes @ramrod711 BKK ? So mini DLT at Big C Saturdays 09-00 till 15-00 AA insurance now closed on weekends If the vehicle has a number plate from another province then you ( the new buyer not the seller ) must either change the ownership name in that province or goto the MAIN DLT for your province and have them " move" the vehicle to your province this requires a new number plate and 2 or more trips before the whole process of name change and province change is completed.

As long as one is able to renew the compulsory yearly insurance/tax, it's up to the buyer to keep it that way or transfer to a local plate...No one is talking about changing to local immat as being a legal obligation. Am I correct ? That's what I have understood from this thread and other related ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
