I'm looking at buying a motorcycle from a Thai person this week, it would be shipped to my province (Lampang) from Bangkok area. Mutual Thai friend checked it out, all is good with buyer, shipping, bike, etc. but..

How does it work to transfer bike from Thai person shipped to me the foreigner (Retirement visa, Thai DL)? Is it easy once we sign something online, and the bike is already here for me to go into office or is there something else to think about?

Hello everybody 🤗

I have a question that I haven't seen an answer to, I might have missed it and if so I am sorry in advance ...

Can I get a Thai driving license with a DTV visa?

I had one as a teacher (it expired already), when I had a work permit, but I am not sure it is the same with DTV.

Any advice would help.

Thanks in advance 🙏

Can anyone offer advice.

I’ve applied for a motorcycle license online from my country in Australia.

I already paid 2000 BAHT, and now they are asking for medical certificate and additional 1000 Baht.

Is a medical certificate required for obtain a motorcycle license?

I’m worried this could be a scam to get more money?

Does anyone know if you can purchase a motorbike with DTV, considering it needs registration with Dept Land Transport, requiring some kind of residencey visa??

I’m impressed with Cha Am immigration and department of transportation today.

In a little under 2 hours I have been to immigration to complete my 90 day reporting, get a certificate of residency and a multiple entry stamp. I then went a little down the road to the transport office to apply for and receive my Thailand driving licence.

Definitely an "everything else" item. Maybe save purely speculative answers, wondering if anyone has actually dealt with a problem like this. Bought a motorbike in Patong from a dealership. There was a literal year of drama and hassle to get the green book (just them not having their shit together and then my situation turned complicated and they still did not have shit together) and the green book finally arrived and my name is misspelled.

I guess I'll start with contacting them, but I live on the opposite side of the country now and it was a painful year trying to get them to deal with it the first time... Next maybe go into the transpo office here and beg for mercy?
