FINAL UPDATE:
After 3 months, I have finally gotten my Yellow House book and Pink Card. Quite an ordeal. First issue was convincing them I am eligible, After a few days talking with my Thai friend, Amphur called head office and I was cleared to get a Yellow book. Several weeks went by with almost daily communication and finally requirements were nailed down. Of course I needed the translated documents from my embassy and certified by Thai.
Then came the interview, difficult to nail down a date as a supervisor was needed to be present along with my landlord, who drove an hour, and 2 witnesses that needed to take off work.
Arrive at 10AM, 2.5 hours of talking to my landlord and witnesses and filling out forms. After 3 hours, I am told it needs approving and will take a week or two. 10 days and it was approved. Now waiting for landlord to be free to go back again. Not happy, landlord had to go twice.
Finally, I got the Yellow book but still had to go back for the pink card as SS couldn't accept as they needed a code off the Pink ID card. Waited another week for Landlord to be free, about to go on a Friday, checked requirements in advance.
Nope, only Tuesday -- Thursday 3:30 - 5:00
Went back next week and now proud owner of a yellow book and Pink ID card,
Next problem, I read in a thread that to move, you need to contact the Amphur where you currently live. They will give you a paper to take to next new Amphur. Asked my Amphur about this and they said contact new Amphur only with new landlord.
Anyone besides me have a Yellow House book based on renting? Would love to hear your comments on updating when moving.
Thanks all and appreciate all the help,
Regards,
Jeff
