I dont know if it's a requirement, but here it is a couple of expats living here got YB and pink card with no problem but it was a different official then, my wife has been on the phone all day and found out interesting news on this guy it seems he was transferred from another office because he caused some problems there, 3 other women in our village had problems with him over not wanting to issue birth certificate and ID card, she also spoke to the immigration office who has been doing my 90 days for years he say's when he refused do issue a YB he must write on the paperwork why he has refused then we go to see him he will take us to another gov dep who oversee all the amphur offices and they will sort it, he was extremely helpful and on a sunday too, maybe have to pay ''double time '' joking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cannot issue a new birth certificate. The can only do a printout of the birth registration. Same for a marriage certificate. But if you have copy of it they will do a certified copy of it with a Kor Ror 2 attached to it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being known and respected by local Thais is no requirement to get a yellow book. Actually somebody who comes to Thailand for the first time in his life on a 3 months education visa can be registered in a yellow book. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteBuffaloATM Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 so curious jackdd ,you reject known basic YB protocol on what basis I wonder... you dont mention holding a YB yourself..... odd that Having three blue book thai witnesses including landowner is a fundamental YB requirement. A New Arrival would have No Chance of passing basic YB Q & A at the easiest Tessaban. unless money or favours involved but never heard that before for the materially worthless YB.... why on earth would a new arrival even want YB “registration” ? they would have 101 more important things to take care of being newly arrived Which location then permits having no thai witnesses and so zero community standing for the YB ? that surely is the whole basis of YB issue and why it can be so difficult. also what do you mean by “registered in YB” ? curious terminology...... I am talking about holding your own personal YB with only your name and property entered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a yellow book and Pink ID card. Requirements (for me): Two witnesses neither of whom was asked about owning land. My Legalised and Translated birth and marriage certificates and passport from the UK. (As apparently they needed my parents names and occupations?). Wife's Blue Book and Thai ID card. After the initial application it took about 6 months as they told us to "wait for a call" (never came). I think they just stuck it in a drawer - when we went down there miraculously it had just been completed! Each Amphur seems to "make up" the requirements so it's pointless stating things as "fact" when it varies from office to office. Having "community standing" (?) has nothing to do with the application - it's purely a paperwork exercise.

In theory, getting in a yellow book on arrival would be the ideal situation, then you can open bank accounts, get a licence etc, all using yellowbook/pinkID instead of passport/ resident certificates etc. The requirements for Thai witness can vary across Thailand, there is not usually a requirement for community standing (whatever that means), especially in large cities and expat areas where the village headman no longer exists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteBuffaloATM Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 peter. no. YB is very personal. I got it. I hold it. Only I am in it. It ties me to my property. It is I that had to comply with the municipal bs not the property. Without me there would be no YB for my property. It is called a Foreigner House Registration Book. Issued for me as the said Foreigner. Not issued for the property otherwise it would come with the house. It does not. If I change address I keep my YB , I do not pass it on or surrender it. It is mine and mine alone. Others can get their own. I will not be doing that process again for any new property. Blue Book is not the same. I hold the BB issued with property as Owner. I cannot be in it as farang.My thai family only are in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteBuffaloATM Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 peter,.again, no. YB can take months and not necessary for any new arrival stuff which is needed long before YB issued....... community standing = thai witnesses.....new arrival should not be able to get thai witnesses who must swear they have known new arrival for what, five minutes.... yeah that’ll work ... unless they lie for money I suppose but visa / passport check will expose such lies.... property lease/ landowner ID / power of attorney = landowner thai “witness” and dont tell me that your lease is not required either...... thai witness requirement does not “vary” except it can be one or two plus landowner lease only. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not your personal book and it does not transfer to other properties. I have a yellow book issued for my condo, it has 3 foreigners listed in it. Prior to this I was listed in a different yellow book for my wife's house in Bangkok. I also have a yellow book for a separate rental property that has nobodies name in it as no foreigners live there, if a foreigner moves in I will get them listed in the book Suggest you check the 1st page of the yellow book where it lists the property details, (your name is not on that page) then check the subsequent pages (the rest of the book) where the occupants are listed (you are listed there). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteBuffaloATM Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 digbeth; surely clear my YB case involves only me, myself and I. YB multiple foreigners would be for those declaring & surrendering YB to new Owners or for foreign families, again my post clearly indicates this is not applicable..... also posted clearly that I would not be repeating the YB / ID process ..... do try to keep up.....

There is no such thing as "your own personal YB". If you own a property, you obviously also own the YB which comes with the property. But if there were multiple foreigners living at this address they would all be registered in the same YB. Most people here are probably registered in the YB of their wife's property. 1 hour ago, WhiteBuffaloATM said: also what do you mean by “registered in YB” ? curious terminology...... You should read up on how the "house registration" (this is actually the correct term, the terms YB and BB are just terms used by us foreigners) works in Thailand, you clearly understand something wrong. 1 hour ago, WhiteBuffaloATM said: A New Arrival would have No Chance of passing basic YB Q & A at the easiest Tessaban.

I didn't say you don't need witnesses. But you don't need a long history. I could move in with you today and we could go to the Amphoe together with two of your neighbors and have me registered in your Yellow book, that I just moved in today is no hindrance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The address is hard coded on the 1st page of the yellow book, it cant be changed, only the occupants can be added or deleted. You appear to be confusing alien registration and getting a yellow book issued for a property. I have only done the alien registration process once, it generates your Thai ID number etc. After that I can be registered in different yellow books. The 12 weeks of your time was getting alien registration, yellow book for the property happened at the same time. Yes I have gone and got 3 different yellow books for 3 different properties, a 5 minute process after showing the blue book, nothing to do with alien registration.

WhiteBuffaloATM Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 it very much is MY “Owner” YB. aint no Occupant either according to Tessaban & YB.

Aint nobody else getting my YB, thats locked away in my safe.... permanently especially as my delightful tessaban threatened to “delete your ( theres that personal YB reference again) tabien baan data on our computer without bringing them original valid COR (forever)” of course with the actual paper book in my hands that aint happening.....that was four months ago. so assuming they have carried out their illegal threat, that YB is certainly mine now ......for good a deleted YB is no good to anyone right ? wrong, its good for me as the created YB / ID alien reg.no. cannot be deleted except by Interior Ministry who issued my Pink ID Card which has no expiry date either ( just like my YB), handy that..... so now Ive explained all and got some good other info back. done here now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZELL Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) I think the above poster @WhiteBuffaloATM has no idea what a Yellow Book actually is! I suggest you read this: https://www.thailandlawonline.com/article-older-archive/thai-house-registration-and-resident-book#:~:text=Tabien baan or Thai house book is the official local,the local municipality (amphur). If you get a smartphone with google translate - it will show you that the first few pages just state the address, your name, your parents name and who issued the book.

Its NOT part of the past or future Legal Property Buy/ Sale Pkg. New Buyer can go through the s***t I went through themselves if they want THEIR Owner YB.....
