Obtaining a Tabian Baan (House Registration Book) for registered leasehold of 30 years?

[Fiskebolle]

Dear Aseannow members, 


I'm contemplating a purchase of condo vs. registered leasehold of 30 years. I'm not requesting any advice or personal opinions on what's a better choice in terms of investment etc. 

My question is actually related to whether it is possible to obtain and get your name registered in a tabian baan (yellow house registration book) when you leasehold a property for 30 years. 

My assumption situation with leasehold may be different (potentially more complicated) as compared to a purchase of condo, where your name is on the chanote and listed in tabian baan as housemaster/owner...

 

Only serious reactions please. Thank you!

 

Regards,

I noticed nobody replied. 

I cannot assist. I did searches on the net and there are few reasonable sites. Here is one

A blue-book comes with a condo-purchase, but one's name is not listed in it.

One can get a yellow-book even for an apartment-lease, and that process differs in difficulty by Amphoe.  Having a chanote does not remove the obstacles some amphoes create - "certified" long-form birth certificate showing parent's names, witnesses, and similar.   The time to issue it after they accept your documents also varies per-amphoe. 

I would check with your amphoe as a first step, and see if they have a list of needed documents.
