In Topic: Tourist Visa Extension Question

Aplied for a "M" visa in Singapore - denied.
Appears you now need
1. Proof of 800,000 THB any account - even in Singapore
2. Marriage cert
3. Letter from wife stating still married and she wants you in Thailand
4. Copy of wife's ID card

So they only gave a two month tourist visa.
Nothing on their web site stating the new requirements

In Topic: Importing A Vehicle From The Uk

Most of the advice is spot on - do not try unless you have excessivley deep pockets and are also well connected to the highest level of Thai customs.

As advised - check out the threads - read the nightmares!!

One guy did manage to import a classic TR6 - that was in need of an 100% renovation. Consequently the magpie attraction wasn't there.
He was prepared to pay the price which turned out to be much cheaper than renovating the car in the UK due the Thai labour costs being so comparitivley low.

Contrary to advise that the "Book" would be a magor hurdle - this in fact waas the easy / simplest part.

One exception is to "Temporary" import the car - you will need an import licence from the Commerce department and then you need to loadge the import duty with Customs - said to be refunded when the car leaves the country. Even so - you are only allowed one year entry and would anybody believe that Customs would actually give back the 218% import duty???.

One avenue (Unexplored) would be to try a temp import with say a Malaysian registred car??

For example - I will be doing the reverse in that I am taking my Thai registred car to Singapore and back. As in Europe - I will need international insurance and the car will have a visa stamped in my passport alongside my personal visa - so I leave the country and the car MUST leave with me.

Again - as other members point out - it's easier to pay the man his money and buy a car in Thailand !!!

This car ws shipped over in this condition June last year. Very undesirable. Customs still cost money as did the import licence, however the car now has a book and this (The book) was very reasonable and easily achieved. You just need to keep the MAGPIE attitude in mind with the customs. Everyone will tell you it's not possible, but it is, for a price. So ts down to how much you are willing to pay. ALL cars require and import licence no mattr what their age. The import duty is based on engine size along with horsepower and the age of the car. In the case of the TR6 this is calculated at 218 percent allowing for a 90 percent reduction due to its age. But then there WILL e T money too. It's upto you - Thai speak. It can be done - good luck
