ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The ability to obtain a residence certificate in Thailand for purchasing a car without a Long Term or Retirement Visa varies. Several comments indicate that it is indeed possible, especially in places like Bangkok, where policies have changed to allow such requests from all visa holders. The process may involve using a TM30 form, and while there may be some waiting time (approximately 7-14 days), there are no strict restrictions preventing this from happening.
