Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy and register a second-hand motorbike in Bangkok as a foreigner?: Yes. Foreigners can legally purchase and register a used motorbike in Thailand in their own name. You need a valid passport, a current visa, and proof of a Thai address (commonly a Certificate of Residence, a yellow house book, or a work permit). We coordinate the full process, confirm documentation readiness, and accompany you to DLT for ownership transfer.
What documents do I need to register a motorbike as a foreigner?: Typically: passport (photo and visa pages), proof of a Thai address (Certificate of Residence, yellow house book, or work permit), the motorbike's green registration book from the seller, and the standard DLT transfer forms. We confirm the exact documents for your situation before transfer day, since requirements can vary by branch.
How long does motorbike ownership transfer take at DLT?: When all documents are in order, the transfer is usually completed in a single DLT visit — often within a few hours. Delays occur when documents are missing, inconsistent, or out of sequence. We confirm readiness before your transfer appointment to reduce this risk.
What proof of address do I need for a motorbike?: DLT asks foreign buyers to prove a Thai address. The most common document is a Certificate of Residence from Immigration (informally called “TM.16” by some services), and a yellow house book or a work permit are usually accepted alternatives. We review your proof of address and help you obtain it if needed.
How much does the DLT motorbike ownership transfer fee cost?: Government DLT transfer fees are separate from our service and are paid directly to DLT on the day. For a used motorbike they are usually modest — commonly in the low hundreds of baht, depending on the vehicle. Our service fee is 12,000 THB and covers buyer-side coordination, documentation readiness, and transfer-day accompaniment.
