Hi everyone!

I’m planning to apply for the DTV visa and buy a motorcycle in Thailand.

Does anyone here have experience registering a motorbike under their name while on a DTV visa? Were there any issues at the Land Transport Office?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience — especially regarding the documents required and whether you needed a residence certificate.

Thanks in advance 🙏

I need certificate of residence for put motorbike on my name. What paper I need to give to immigration for get this certificate ?

Hey everyone. I'm in Thailand on a DTV and I was wondering what the process is of buying a motorcycle. I've been renting for a few months, but planning on buying one for myself. Do I need a resident certificate? Insurance? Registration? I've seen a lot of mentions of "green book" too. Anything I should be vary or mindful of?

Thank you krub 🙏

Can I get a residency certificate if I have a DTV visa? I have my DTV already and I'd like to purchase a bike, but apparently I need a residency certificate to register the bike once purchased.

I'm trying to get residency certificate for buying motorbike and for motorbike license.

So when I go to the immigration in chiang mai, do I need to double my document?(example: copy of passport, house registration of the owner)

As you can only get one thing for one residency certificate

I got dtv visa and now i am in pattaya i landed today now i am looking for a condo and buy a scooter bike is there anyone who is already been living in pattaya and can help me little bit with this?

Hey folks,

Can anybody tell me if i’m eligible for a residence certificate on a 60-day exempt stamp, please? I bought a scooter and would like to transfer it into my name. Need the residence certificate to achieve that, apparently.

Thanks for any advice you can offer 🙏

Used Scooter Buying: Am I supposed to go to the DMV and register it and change the ownership to my own name? Seems like most expats just buy it and don't register or change the ownership to their name. Also, is buying insurance for it necessary?

Hello - using a friends motorbike and she asked me to help her pay the taxes on it. They havent been paid in a few years as she has been out of the country since before COVID - the sticker says 2561.

Does anyone know if the transport office makes you backpay all the years or just this current year to update the road tax? Dont want to get in trouble or pay a huge fine!

Thank you kindly if you have some accurate information 🙏

Hi,

I'll be doing a visa run to Penang in a few days.

I am planning to drive my Motorbike from Surat Thani to the Malaysian Border.

I supposed it would be best that I leave my motorbike for a few days near at the border Thai side rather than trying to bring it with me to Penang or to the Malaysian ferry close to Penang: I think it may not be possible to do that with a newly purchase motorbike not yet registered on my name.

Does anyone has experience with parking the motorbike safely by the border for a few days?

Thank you!
