skorts Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Couple of questions I would appreciate some guidance on: 1. Can you Tax a car at any Transport Office in Thailand or does it have to be at an office within the Province where the car is registered? 2. My car is 6 years old at time of next Tax Renewal so I do not think I need the car tested until the following year when it will be 7 years old. Is this correct? Thanks in advance for any help.

jackdd Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 1. Any province You can also buy compulsary insurance and pay the tax at most 7/11 (A Thai citizen id card is required, so bring your GF or another Thai with you if you plan to do this) 2.

DaRoadrunner Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Far as I know you have to register the car at your local office. However, I am curious to know if the annual tax can be paid elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I await other responses as, this being Thailand, it may well vary from one office to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlover Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Our motorcycle was purchased and registered in Udon Thani. We moved to Sakon Nakhon 2 years ago and wifey renews the tax/insurance at a local agent without any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLT website clearly states (a half decent Google translation): Quote Annual tax payment methods For cars under the law on cars Paying car taxes throughout Thailand can be done in every office. (Regardless of which province of the car is registered) Vehicle inspection and compulsory insurance can also be done at any location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alacrity Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 It's a computerised system nowadays and has been for years. Just go to the local DLT which is near you. With older vehicles it's even easier. There are many more registered check-stations than DLT centres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my subsequent road tax payments have been made at Banglamung (Pattaya) DLT in Chonburi Province. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
