Yellow House Book and Pink Card

[Hocus Pocus]

I will be completing 9 years of employment in Thailand. In order to retain my Thai Social Security under Section 39, I need to obtain a Yellow House Book and Pink ID Card. I live in an apartment building in Bangkok and I am asking if the owners can add me into the Blue Book of whoever is the house master for my unit. That is my Plan A and probably the most straightforward if the apartment management agree to treat me as part of the family.

 

Plan B is that I own a condo in Pattaya under foreign ownership, for which I have the Blue Book. I am not married to a Thai nor to I intend to be. The Blue Book for my Pattaya condo is blank since only Thai citizens can be listed there. Question I have is: "Can I obtain a Yellow Tabien Baan and Pink ID Card using the Blue Book from my Pattaya condo"? If so, what is the process? I tried Googling on this question and the answer that came had conflicting information that "you must be married to a Thai citizen" but also "provide the marriage certificate IF you are married". Confusing.

 

Plan C. Is it possible to use an agent to bypass these limitations and just pay my way to getting these documents? Honestly even if I am told Plan B is possible, it will be a lot of hassle as I will probably have to go to Pattaya and deal with things there, so best if I can just get it through a little payola.

 

Appreciate any guidance in advance.

Such a pain in ass this whole procedure, I am married and submitted all the documents you stated above, they accepted them and told me there is a queue so you might need to wait 2-3 months. I am waiting 8 months already, nothing from them.

 

Called them once, they said they will call me back within a hour, no one called..

 

Sorry for my useless comment, just saying for me it is a real pain in ass obtaining these documents.
