Not yellow book but the foreigner ID ("pink card"). For those Thais who have never seen a passport and have problems reading English, yes. Getting a SIM does not require English-reading ability from the assistant, a photo of the passport is taken and details copied, verbatim, into a phone. That's exactly the same procedure as for a card or book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tax exemption isn’t based on your owning only one property, so it's simply daft to imagine the yellow book need verify any such thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of months ago, the DLT accepted my yellow book as proof of residence and gave me a new 5-year license based on it. Enough with the misinformation.

Wrong. Come on build up your knowledge, exempt if one property, this may help you understand, and Pattaya City Hall require the yellow book to be updated, call them to check Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, if and when you own another property, you don't "update" your yellow book. If you move to that property and wish to declare it as your primary residence, then you'd cancel the old yellow book and get a new one. If getting one yellow book is too onerous for you, what horror to have to get another one! It's simply daft to imagine that a yellow book serves the same purpose as a chanote, you see. Totally different purposes.???? Edited May 20, 2022 by BigStar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough with the misinformation. Perhaps not - misinformation that is. It used to be well documented on here that the DLT next to Regents would not accept the yellow book and wanted a CoR. Yours is one of a couple of recent comments saying that they do now so perhaps they have, or staff have, changed. Useful to know thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
