How To Import A Boat To Thailand

When importing a boat from oversea to Thailand – even if it is solely for personal use and not for running a business – it is necessary to register the boat at the Marine Department in charge. Which department is in charge is determined by the mooring of the boat. To complete the registration process, the following documents are required:

1. Boat sale agreement;
2. Receipt of paying import taxes at the Customs Department;
3. Supporting documentation to certify domicile in Thailand by going to the immigration office that is in the province that the boat is located (certification of the Thai visa at the Immigration Office); and
4. Translations of all documents in English into Thai.
