ajahnlau Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Yes did search but not much info. What are the advantages of yellow book,currently have 1 yr, ext. based on retirement. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HampiK Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) At the moment the only advantages I know of are: Maybe not need a Residence Certificate, which can save some time and money (For me worked with the driver license) Maybe can made it easier to open an bank account if you not have a work permit Some have told, that you can have cheaper entrances on some parks with the Pink ID card (for which a yellow book is needed before). But this seems more difficult than a few years back. There are still a lot of writers here, which not see any advantages in the yellow book.

Popular Post Langsuan Man Posted March 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 14, 2018 Simple rule If your amphur makes it easy to get a Yellow Book, go for it If your amphur makes you jump through a lot of expensive hoops, it is not worth the time and trouble You only have to have a Yellow Book if you are going to seek permanent residency, otherwise it is up to you 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow house book is NOT a proof of owenership, it is merely a proof where you are registrered and living. Nothing more... glegolo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a usufruct registered on the chanote then it cannot be sold or used as security for a loan. HL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is very useful when you want to buy and register a car in your name - Standard answer : No can do, this is simply because the people don't know what name and address to use. Give then the yellow tabien baan, easy Second benefit: Master of the house hold (chau baan) can be in the yellow book = it's possible to register electricity, water etc for a property in your name so you control that. No more must be nice to the old girl friend / wife because she is chau baan and will turn off electricity and water if I kick her out But most westerners on ThaiVisa say that yellow tabien baan is useless so maybe I am narrow minded Edited March 15, 2018 by MikeyIdea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
