Re: car ownership
If you only have a 30 day or holiday visa etc. you cannot get a license or own a vehicle in your name

Re: car ownership
Not supposed to be able to obtain it on a 30 day visa but then again this is Thailand. My step daughter got her driving license when she was 13

My wife and I also got licenses on our 30 day visas.

cheers guys, your help is appreciated as usual.
Re: Car ownership without visa?
You dont need a driving license to buy or register a car.
You do need the proof of residency letter though to put it in your name, immigration may not issue this unless you have a non-immigrant visa. Best to call them and ask.

So Jungle, could you advise how it went, were you able to get a license and buy a car?

Have not tried yet. i will be in HH full time beginning of march and was trying to figure out if i could take ownership of a car from a friend. it will take a couple of months to get my long stay visa but i would need to do this in the first week of my arrival. I will not be buying from a dealer.
