TLDR : Answer Summary

It includes various suggestions from community members, such as contacting immigration directly, requesting assistance from landlords for the TM30, and options for doing the process independently. Additionally, several agencies are mentioned, including Nova International Law Firm and One Stop Visa Service in Pattaya, with emphasis on the ease of handling these processes personally to avoid unnecessary costs.

Forget about the 90 day report. Just pay 60 bucks every year (or with DTV never since you leave anyway after half a year) and you feel free from the hassle and brainless government surveillance. You will thank me later. (I haven't done it for years and boy does it feel great to be free in the land of smiles)

The Landlord / owner of the place you are staying, has to do the TM30 ( by law ).

The residence certificat you get at the Immigration office ( if qualified )

Driving license you get at the DLT.

Yeah BKK is annoying for this. Had this problem trying to get Residence Certificate for buying new bike. Instead I came to Pattaya where it is super easy and can get on shorter term visa. I think in Chiang Mai as well you don't need long term visa.

why not buy the car and then go to the provincial capital DLT in your province to get new plates for the car there when you transfer ownership? No need to go to DLT in Bangkok unless you're living there.

Only if you’re on a long stay visa and have done your first 90 days report they will issue a residence certificate in Bangkok.

I didn’t have a motorcycle license from home, so I took the motorcycle license the regular Thai way with theoretical and practical test in Thailand on a visa exemption in two days, but I needed a residence certificate.

(Not recommended if you don’t have experience which I had as smaller motorcycles was without license previously in Norway).
