Hi.

I'm looking to buy a bike from out of town. What documents do I need? What needs to be shown to the local DLT where I am resident to transfer it to my name?

As far as I have been able to figure out, I need what's below. Please correct me or make observations!


Documents needed from the seller:

• Green book (signed by the seller at the appropriate place)
  
• If sold by a Thai - copy seller’s ID card - both sides signed.
  
• If sold by a Thai - copy of house document Ta Bian Ban - signed
  
• If sold by a farang then passport and immigration statement/proof as to where living)
  
• Vehicle transfer of ownership form – signed and witnessed
  
• Power of attorney (proxy) form – signed and witnessed (no need to make it out to anyone specific).

How does that sound?

Thanks in advance,

R

ps - some time ago there was/were links to the online Thai forms for vehicle transfer and power of attorney - anyone know where these links have gone?

I am not sure what the power of attorney letter you keep mentioning is. I don't think I have ever used one. Just copy of ID card and tabien baan of seller, ownership transfer form or sales receipt, your passport and residency docs and the green book. Easy peasy.
