Hello all,

I just got my 1 year ED visa and now want to legally purchase a motorbike. Is it possible? How hard or easy is it and what hoops need to be jumped through?

Thanks for your help.

Where did you get the 1 year Non Immigrant ED visa and based on which school? If you have money you can buy a motorbike, payment is cash, no money no motorbike.

Ryan Manfre You need the Notification of Stay, or a Certificate of Address to get a motorbike in your name. If you do not live inside Thailand at an official address, they do not put it in your name.

Thanks, you understand you have to visit the Immigration Office every 90 days with some money and documents. Names are not that important as long as you understand the rules.

It's just a bill of sale, and copy of ID "not expired" if from a Thai. Passport and current visa stamp if from a foreignor. Tax is really easy as well.
