ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The question inquires if it's possible to acquire a residence certificate in Thailand for purchasing a car without holding a long-term or retirement visa. The responses indicate that it is indeed possible, particularly with the TM30 form, and clarify that the requirements can vary by immigration office. It is noted that while a residence certificate is not necessary for buying a car, it is required for registering or transferring ownership. Recent experiences suggest that the process can take about 7-14 days.
