I have yellow book and pink id card
A complete waste of time and not worth a light
As you will find out when you try to use.

Some people would disagree with you, but for the amount of hassle getting mine is proving to be i can see your point !!

When I got mine it was easy it only took a couple of hours and then had to go back to pick it up, and while I was doing that, they noticed that there was an error on my daughters Thai Birth Certificate so they made all the changes at the same time. I went to the Amphur in Bangkok (Thonglor). I didn't have to get anything translated just show them my Passport.
Thai immigration offices and Amphurs are consistent with their inconsistency !!-

Obviously the rules change from one area to another, but in general, is it compulsory to have a 1 year retirement visa to obtain a yellow book,
or will a 90 day "O" non immigrant, retirement visa be enough?
I've had a non imm B, a 90 day TV and am now on a non imm O-A ( 1 year " retirement " ) so I can't really see that being the issue.
I think the main problem is, as you said, the rules change from one area to another, and the lack of understanding of these rules forces them to make sh1t up as they go along ! -
I can feel your frustration. In Pattaya I used my Thai marriage docs as they contained an MFA translation of my name (saved me getting passport translation), but nothing to do with being married as a requirement for yellow book. Maybe the guy at the ampher is confused in that regard.
I don't think he's confused, I think he knows exactly what he's doing !!
I did my bit, i produced the requested docs ( translated, certified etc ), dressed smartly, smiled in all the right places ( I think ), never showed frustration at not understanding the interview etc.
I think he's one of those officials who has a high opinion of himself and his position.-

Bloody hell, decree nisi, that's well out of order, you know sometimes it's better say nothing, even at the British Embassy if you tell them you've never been married, they don't check via the UK before they issue the Affirmation to Marry Certificate.

Yes, I didn't know that he was gonna ask about whether id been married or not, if I'd have known I'd have asked the gf to say " no, never " . He would have had to think up another stumbling block then !! -
It is obvious; 13.
Sorry, oh wise one but it has solved see posts #48 and #49.
But do not despair, because the prize for winning was a months supply of Som Tum [emoji51] -
At least now we know how to find you AD old chum. Maybe pop by on Burns night for a wee dram or on Hogmanay for a few wee drams?
I think you might have misinterpreted my cryptic reference to McDonalds as Scottish food PDL !!
I am from gods own county.... Yorkshire.
But you are more than welcome to drop in for a drink of whatever I have in house , which at the moment is tea, ovaltine and 3/4 of a bottle of JD !! [emoji4] -
OP, here is the requirements for Pattaya. You could maybe show the guy whats required in the city where they do 1000s of yellow books.
I presume the decree doc you mention is something to do with divorce, not sure what that has to do with yellow book as you can be single, married, divorced etc, maybe tell the guy that the GF is in fact you landlord, not GF.. Maybe get hold of the Alien registration Act and quote some paragraphs out of that.
Yes Peter, Decree Nisi is the document of my divorce to a Brazilian.
Exactly, it doesn't really have anything to do with yellow book except in this case the guy maybe seemed a lack of face in my obtaining the documents he first requested without any real difficulties and after having me wait 2 weeks decided to request the decree nisi as surely this would cause me some problems in obtaining a translated, certification !!

Nope, you are the closest though, any Thai descendants ? Or just using your username as a guess ?

Nope, but I see how you're thinking.

Nope and nope.
When I reveal all you will see their " logic ", once again, there is a sequence so I don't believe anyone picked their numbers, the numbers were all prearranged.

UJ didn't reply in that topic.
This is what I generally stated;
There is no definitive answer to your question, unless someone applied at the same municipal office.
Thailand's Provinces are like autonomous regions.
The local government of Bangkok dictates the laws, as in the Civil Registration Act which allows 'aliens' to register and obtain a House book and subsequently a Thai ID card for foreigners. Aliens are issued a Yellow book as opposed to the Blue book issued to Thais.
Foreign Condo or House owners can be issued Blue books, but cannot be named in them.
Foreigners with PR status can be named as a 'dweller' in the blue house book of their wife/husband.
Each province has it's own local administrative local government.
They dictate the administrative process required to comply with the law.
Thais refer to these municipal government complexes as Thesaban's.
There are 3 levels of administration within each Province. City, town and sub district.
Level 3 are Thesaban offices located within your Tambon (sub district).
Level 2 are Thesaban offices located within your Town or Amphoe (District)
Level 1 are the main Thesaban offices located within your City or Town (Always Mueang or Nai Muang Districts)
Depending on the administration level you apply greatly depends on the individual experience you may have.
Level 3 will usually have little knowledge of issuing foreigners with Tabien Baan's, let alone stock them, be familiar with the procedures, or likely have the equipment to take your Biometric information, and will usually give you the run around because of their lack of experience. Complain about your rubbish collection and they can deal with it.
Level 2 will be more familiar with the process, better qualified, trained and should have the equipment to take your Biometrics.
Level 1 is the Thesaban to visit if you have problems at level 3 or 2 administration levels. They should have English speaking management, definitely have the equipment and stock, and are used to dealing with foreigners.
This is not about anyone's opinion, it's based on my experience.
Had a number of local expats and members of the forum, who I gave the same advice to and those who followed that advise received their TB without the issues that were being presented with at a lower level of Thesaban.
It worked for members from Phetchabun, Phichit and Nong Khai, why not in Ayutthaya.
Yes, I meant you and UJ discussed this in a different thread .
I just read through the whole yellow house book registration report thread again and tomorrow I'll go back to the Amphur for my docs and seek out the Provincial office, thanks. -

Well, this thread has turned another corner !!
Pee DL is now trying to goad us with tales of drinking uk ales and sitting on porches playing guitars accompanied by birds singing. Showing us photos of fancy motors ( nice Audi by the way ) and even sunk as low as to show us photos of his young sisters butt !!
Where is the respect for us suffering in LOS ??
Only joking of course !
Very happy to see PeeDL is getting his life back on track and although he still has some soul searching to do before finally accomplishing this it would seem he is making moves in the right direction .
Good luck to you Pee Dark Lord !
Ody !!, show us a sign !! there are a lot of people here praying for good news from yourself.-

Obviously #2.
Not correct unfortunately but about as logical as the answer.
Remember there is some logic for their numbering system, you're not thinking like a thai [emoji51] -
Is there a prize ?
I'm 89 years old. Will this take much longer ?
There is no prize other than the winner has managed to work out how the Thai brain works !!
That in itself is worthy of a Nobel Prize !! -
Nope and nope
