Importing My Own Uk Registered Motorcycle Into Thailand Permanently

[UK PUMI]

Hi . Is it possible to import my uk motorcycle to Thailand and register in my name when i move to Thailand to retire. Thanks for any help and agents to assist this.

It is possible, but a lot of work and expense. Only you can decide if it is worth it.
Asean now (old Thai Visa) has a post from user M1 Tanker on how he brought his BMW. Took 2 years, massive effort. Needed an import license from the Thai Gov't for one example.
Consensus is to buy one here

But I don't think it is possible anymore & is not worth the time, effort & cost.
Buy something local & save yourself a lot of stress.
There are plenty of good bikes available here now.

I can agree with David and canthai, it’s not worth the hassle or expense. I looked at bringing my XT600e over 5 or 6 years ago, anyway, short version, I sold the bike in the UK.

Hi guys, like you, returning to Thai and want to bring my bike. Can you shed light on who to contact that can intelligently fill me in on what to do? Please, if you can email me with any contacts that can help in this matter or talk with me directly. [email protected]. Any and all help would greatly be appreciated, Thanks.

You’ll need to deal with customs and pay import duties, and you'll also need to get it registered with the Department of Land Transport in Thailand.

Don't waste your time. Not worth the hassle, time, energy or cost involved. Just buy something local.
