Hello Group,

Can anyone recommend an agency that provides help in transferring motorbike ownership? This is for the Minburi, Bangkok area.

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 🙏

Hi all, just a heads up for people who may have been thinking like me. Ive just been to immigration to get a certificate of residence so I can buy a car or motorbike and get a thai driving licence, they told me you cannot obtain one on a dtv visa only a non-immigrant visa.

Seems a bit bizarre to me as the dtv virtually allows a stay of 5 years(just leaving the country annually ).

Has anyone ever tried to export a motorcycle from Thailand and import it into the UK? The Honda CT125 is not available in the UK and a family member is asking if I can help out.

For clarity, specialist importers are offering the bike in the UK at 2.5x the price here in Thailand.

If you don’t know, and/or have nothing valuable to contribute please refrain from commenting.

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?

Hi, I am looking to purchase a moto on a visa exempt entry. I know that I can't get the Certificate of residency at Bangkok without a 90 day report.

My question is, if I go to Pattaya and get a Certificate of Residency can I bring that paper back to Bangkok to purchase and register the moto using the out of province CoR or does the registration of the vehicle have to be in the same province as where the Certificate or Residency was issued?

Thanks!
