TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, you can obtain a certificate of residence in Thailand (specifically Bangkok) while holding a DTV visa, which is necessary for purchasing a motorcycle or car. You need to submit a TM30 form and you no longer need to have completed a 90-day report beforehand to get this certificate. The certificate can be mailed to your registered address at a cost of 200 baht.

Curious if places put you in the online system for 180day stay for tm30 or 90..then 90 again? My place couldn't change my stay after getting 30day extension. Maybe they just don't know how.

also get one so you can get a Thai driver's license. After 90 days in Thailand you must have a Thai driver's license to be legal. If you are not fully legal no insurance will cover you if something happens. On the application check both boxes. You'll need three, one to purchase, and then one for motorcycle license, and one for car license. They are two separate licenses.

Believe you can get it after 90 day report, so if you stay more than 90 days should be possible.
