Permanent import a second hand foreign vehicle into Thailand with a Thai work permit

[KTMphil]

Does anyone know of someone who has actually pulled this off? It looks amazing if it's possible.


From Thai customs website:


The Customs Department - Thailand

• Criteria for a Permanent Import of Used/Secondhand Vehicles

• An importer is eligible to import only ONE used/ secondhand vehicles for personal use.
• In case where the importer is a nonresident, he/she is required to stay in Thailand for at least ONE year and present a non-immigrant visa issued by the Immigration Bureau, the National Police Office together with a work permit issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare at the time of importation.

- House certificate & Thai ID card????



Additional Documentation for the used/secondhand personal vehicles:

• A House Certificate and an Identification Card;
• A passport in case of changing residence;
• A Vehicle Registration Certificate indicating that the imported vehicle was used abroad;
