Can I buy a motorbike in Thailand with a tourist visa if the registration is under a friend's name?
Dec 2, 2022

ORIGINAL POSTER
I can’t buy a motorbike because with my tourist visa I can’t obtain a residence permit.

What if I have a friend - with a work permit, hence a residence - buy it for me? He’ll have to come to the DLT and his name will be on the green book instead of mine. What about insurance? Would the DLT put the same name for the insured as the owner?

Will I have any issue if the cops stop me?

Would I have any issue if I want to get outside of Thailand with that bike?

Has anybody ever done this and wants to share their experiences/suggestions?

Any agency who can make this as smooth as possible without me eventually dragging my friend to the DLT?

Thanks in advance for you time!
