Is it possible to get tabien baan yellow house registration book on visa exempt entry? Or is another type of visa / permission to stay required?

 

I am currently on visa exempt. I will be getting a non-immigrant visa later but for now I am making the most of my visa exempt entry.

It would be up to the Amphoe issuing the Tabian Baan, but I doubt many/any would issue one to a tourist.

IF you can prove that you have a steady living and a address in Thailand you will get the yellow book; If just a touristo much more difficult as that is outside the rules...

Twelve months ago my local amphoe told me to qualify for a yellow book I needed to have lived in Thailand for twelve months and to be married. Both criteria of their own making. Coincidentally, I do now meet both criteria and went to request my yellow book. They told me to go to the UK Embassy in Bangkok and obtain legalised copies of both my passport and birth certificate.

There seem to be huge difference from province-to-province in demands for application for Yellow House Book for aliens. My Danish friends got his up northern Isaan almost instantly, and without much paperwork; whilst for me, living in a southern province, it was almost same procedure as applying for permanent residency, apart from a Thai language test, and proof of 3-years work-permit and paid income tax. I also needed two witnesses, of which one should be a neighbor, and the other a government employed.

 

It might help if you ask the question in a local forum, as someone there might have experience from the area you stay in.

I got a yellow book, but had to have a proper visa, and also had to have over 30 days left on it, as, due to timescale of getting book, the visa needs to still be valid at the actual time of presenting you the yellow book.

as stated, you also have to have passport translated into Thai ( amongst other requirements, which differ on each Amphour. ) 

I only can tell from experience of one Tambom in Phuket.

They have the requirements that you need to have a long stay visa extension and be in the country for at least 6 months without leave.

In case of owning a condominium it is possible for a unmarried foreigner.

In case of a house/land the foreigner has to be married with a Thai national.

They needed my passport (no translation), proof of residence certificate, Marriage papers and Blue book.

After acceptance the yellow book was ready next day as the boss was not in that day to sign it.

Just wondering why you want a yellow house book? This document has no value, nor does it give you any extra rights. Before you could renew your Thai driving licence with this documentation, but not any more.

Many people have found that the yellow house book is useful for many things.

Not sure who told you they could not be used to get a drivers license. There are very few DLT offices that do not accept them for proof of residence for drivers licenses or to register a vehicle.

It is up to your local amphur BUT I personally know of this being done on a visa exempt.

Up to the rules set by your Amphoe.

 

Mine stopped issuing the Yellow Tabien Baans unless you have a valid Visa (not Visa exempt), but then recently an acquaintance managed to obtain a TB on a Visa exempt entry because his g/f is a government official.

Sometimes it boils down to who you know, not what you know.

Sounds like Amphur Bang Pa-in ? as I had a similar experience there.

I used it to get my Thai ID card.

Probably true in Pattaya, but not in most of Thailand.
