TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, it is possible to buy a car and obtain car insurance in Thailand with a DTV visa, as long as you have the necessary documentation such as the certificate of residence and TM30 form. Full payment is required since leasing options are not available for DTV visa holders.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).
For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
