Is it possible to finance the purchase of a motorbike? On a non o over 50 visa so no work permit.
Answer summary
In Thailand, obtaining financing for a motorbike is generally linked to having a work permit. Most dealers, such as Honda, only approve financing if you're employed and possess a work permit. However, some expats have claimed success in getting loans without a work permit, particularly for less expensive models. For those on a Non-O visa, it may be easier to consider purchasing a used motorbike outright. Additionally, some users discussed difficulties in obtaining the TM30 form for residency verification, which could be needed for registration of the bike.

I was approved for a automobile loan without a work permit
I'm attempting to get a copy of the online TM30 from the residence where I'm staying. The online application at their office doesn't seem to have an option to print the TM30. Also, there's only a ledger of my basic visa info. - see pics- The hotel just opened a few days ago and don't know which category to select for my Visa.
I.e., I came in on a TR30 then converted to Non-O retirement.
Im asking:
1. Which category do they need to select for me ( it's in Eng/Thai)?
2. Is a camera shot of the ledger page suitable for use for a certificate of residence? To be used to purchase a purchase and register a motorbike.
