Hello, maybe the question was already ask but is it possible to buy a car and car insurance with DTV?
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.
