Change Blue Book for Yellow Book

[Banana7]

Can the blue condo resident book be exchanged for a yellow book by a foreigner? If it can, what is the process and where can it be done in Pattaya? I understand that if you have a yellow book for your condo, and live in the condo, one doesn't have to pay land/property tax - is this true?

You can not exchange a blue book for a yellow book .

The blue book belongs to the house(condo) and it states the people who live there who are Thai nationals.

The yellow book is kind of the same but only for foreigners.

The yellow book is in addition to to blue book and is used for the same purpose.

I have no idea if this would exempt you from paying tax.

I have a yellow book and i do have to pay tax.

The yellow book can be used for prove of address in case of buying and selling  vehicles etc.

A yellow book can also be used to obtain a Thai id card for foreigners(pink card).

You need to go to the Tessabahn(spelling)and ask them what you need to do.

It differs from place to place but it will probably involve having your passport translated,if to difficult

you could contact a solicitor.
