Yellow book USA citizen


Recommended Posts

Hello 

 

I am a USA citizen trying to get a yellow house book in Sattihip District Chonburi Province.  
 

Would someone who has been through the process help me understand in English what I need to do please ?
 

 I have uploaded the written requirements in Thai language. The Chonburi Sattihip office does not have an English speaking officer that can help me and my family understand where to go or what to do. 
 

Thank you

You do not need a marriage certificate, however, we needed to take the village leader, owner and the in-laws to witness that I lived there. It is a registration of you as a long term resident, not an owner or spouse. Spousal registration is a different tangle of paperwork.

 

They are not going to do anything in English for you, you will need to obtain a translator.

 

No idea what an Immigration Book is. I don't have one.

Thank you for your help. Where did you get your passport translated into Thai and did you have a separate paper for translating your parents names into Thai ?

I submitted my birth certificate as well as the passport.

Got our yellow housebook and pink cards in June of this year. Used a solicitor, who went with us to Tessabaan and amphora. Total cost, 7000 bhat,( total for me and my european wife). No hassle.

All of your points I didn't need any of them only the last one. I'm not married never have been married and I got a yellow book. You don't need anything translated and what the hell is an immigration book. Delete your message cuz it's inadequate and not false information

I needed to show a Non O visa in my passport, valid for 1 year or extension thereof for 1 year.

 

I took my wife and the village headman as a guarantor that I was resident in the village.

 

Can't remember how much I paid but it was peanuts and along time ago, 14 years, I gave the headman 500 baht for his time.

 

A painless procedure, subsequently I obtained my driving license and pink ID card.

 

An American in the next village followed the same procedure.

As we all know, TIT, and every land office fiefdom follows a unique set of rules.  We contacted our office for their requirements.

 

OUR fiefdom's requirements:  My wife had her freshly-minted blue book and ID, I had my passport with non-O visa and TM-30 address registration.  I also had the MFA legalized translation of my US embassy notarized passport - leftover from getting the marriage certificate.  No witnesses or village headperson, no birf' certificate, no parents' translated names.

 

Time and cost: 

 

Blue book for the wife:  one hour, 30 baht.

Yellow book for hansum man:  20 minutes, free.

Pink ID:  20 minutes, 60 baht.

That sounds nice but Sattihip requires more including having my passport transcribed into Thai language and my parents USA names translated into Thai language among other requirements.

All of the above is required by Sattihip. That is why I need advice from someone in Sattihip that has done Thai process if possible.
