Yes that's the one btw for anyone in the future. Will have to go back as my partner isn't from BKK so needs to get a letter from someone from BKK allowing it to be used in BKK.

Thainess.

If you don't have a Thai with you for all the forms etc. You'll be there a long long long time.

Hey there Katabeachbum,

am going through the proces of buying a new superbike ain HH and was going to transfer the greenbook to the GF's name. YOu have however given me pause to think.
I can get a certificate of residency no problems, I have a long term lease in HH.

You have done this in HH before? NO problems?

I am on a tourist visa as I work 4 week rotation on oil rigs.

Cheers,

F0xxee

Another success story..

I still haven't received my non-immigration-ed visa and hence stay in Bkk on tourist visa alone..and I don't have a work permit and when I bought my bike I didn't even have a thai DL. It took less than 3 weeks for Kawasaki to arrange with the registration and now I have both a plate and my name in the green book. While waiting for registration I went to Chatuchak and got my thai DL's for both car and motorbike.. the DL for car they just translated, while I had to do some small testing for the motorcycle DL.

The only thing I had to do in both cases (getting the registration and DL's) was to bring my passport, copies of last entry stamp; tourist visa; my swedish DL AND the certificate of residency issued by my embassy - one copy allowing me to buy a vehicle and one copy allowing me to get a thai DL.

I hope this will encourage whoever you are to get a new nice bike!!

Peace,
Johan

f0xxee what bike are you getting and are you getting it from CP. If so double check your green book with great care.
