Can I buy and register a motorcycle in Thailand on a tourist visa?
Hello, I want to buy a small motorcycle and register it in my name, but I’m only here on a tourist visa. Anyone know if and how I can do that? Thanks 🙏
Answer summary
Yes, it is possible to buy and register a motorcycle in Thailand even if you are on a tourist visa, but you will need a residence certificate from the immigration office. Additionally, you will need a signed power of attorney from the seller along with a copy of their ID card and the original green book for the motorcycle. Some users suggested considering renting a motorcycle instead of buying it while on a tourist visa.

Yes you can. Residence certificate needed. Go to Land Transport Office or satellite ask for relevant paperwork ahead of time, just makes things easier. Copy sellers ID and green book.

Depends on location but mostly no problem, you will need residence certificate from immigration office, signed power attorney from seller with copy his ID card, and most important is original green book
