I do mine online, but for a resident certificate or to transfer a car you need on from immigration, I can’t be bothered to wait online so use an agent

You need one from the immigration office not online one, agent charges 1000baht takes 1 day

That’s plenty even if you rent a house

When I purchased a truck in February last year I was in visa exempt, they required residence certificate which I had to have a fixed address where I had a utility bill, I had to use a Thai friends address.

Red plate comes with a brown book so you can drive anywhere, white plates came in 4 weeks.

What I did find out if your on a plate from another province and want to sell to another foreigner you both have to go to that province, the buyer and seller require residence certificates, we swapped from a BKK plate to Chonburi plate and used an agent.

Mike Dias you can own the house 100%, the Lamb can be in your girlfriend’s name, your wife’s name, a Thai friend’s name, as long as you take out the correct lease

Peter Beaumont he can have a car and a motorbike in his own name which he can sell inside Thailand.

He can lease the land and have a superficies for the building

Speak to Brian at Expat Lawyers for you, you Cannot own the land so have to lease it, you can take out various leases including usufruct and a superficies.

Many foreigners use both together:

• Superficies → own the house

• Usufruct → lifetime right to use the land

This gives maximum protection without violating Thai land ownership laws.

Go to your local Amphur

I just did mine in Pattaya and I required the following

A certified translated copy of my passport, showing my mother and father’s name and nationality

2 x 2 photographs x 3

A signed copy of a complete rental agreement showing the Thai owners ID, a signed copy of the chanote.

All pages of that front and back.

The owner had to get a a receipt for his payment when he purchased the land that the properties built on.

The blue book and the and a signed photocopy of the blue book.

Residency certificate specific for obtaining a yellow house book.

 Two Thai witnesses who both owned property and had a blue book, the amphur took care of this

Then we had t have an interview for myself and my wife, the owner and his girlfriend who’s not even on any blue book or any documentation.

Once they finish, preparing the book, all four of us have to go back to sign it

My transfers are instant with Kasikorn and SCB and next day at 2pm with BKK

@Pauline *******

we applied for 2 for my wife because we were taking our 2 dogs and were worried about the flight, the first one in September took 1 week and the 2nd in November took 4 weeks, in an email they said they had an unprecedented amount of applications when I chased them up. Everyone wants to get out of the UK like my Polish wife and I! 😂
