Superficies or Usufruct
As a foreigner married to a Thai national, you're not allowed to own land in Thailand, but there are legal ways to protect your interest in a property you help develop. Two common legal tools are the right of superficies and the right of usufruct. Both can be registered with the Land Department and provide different types of security. Superficies gives you the legal right to own the house or structure you build on the land, even though the land itself remains in your spouse's name. It's a real right under Thai law that can be set for up to 30 years, or for the lifetime of the landowner or the superficiary. It's also renewable and can be transferred or inherited. This is often the best choice if you're concerned about maintaining ownership of the home in the long term. Usufruct, on the other hand, gives you the right to use and benefit from the land and anything on it. That means you can live there, lease it out, and enjoy the income, but you don’t own any structures outright. It's typically set up for life or for a fixed term and ends when you pass away. While it's easier and less costly to register than superficies, it doesn't provide ownership of the building, which might be a limitation if you've invested in construction. Legal fees for setting up either right aren't excessive but will vary based on the property and local authorities. You’ll also need proper documentation and agreement from your spouse. The previous website mentioned is not updated and quite old. The best information on superficies can be found here: https://thailawonline.com/superficies-in-thailand/ Including Supreme Court decisions, benefits, comparisons, etc. If you're building a house and want to secure your investment, superficies is usually the stronger legal option. But in some cases, combining different rights can provide even more security - ownership of the building and and renting the land for example. -

Condo blue book
I am a little late to answer but here it is: For condominiums, the blue book (Tabien Baan) is generally issued to Thai nationals. Foreigners do not need the blue book to own or transfer condominium units—it is not proof of ownership but proof of residence. You, as a foreigner, would not typically be issued a blue book unless you had Thai citizenship or have permanent residency. In most cases, foreign condo owners are not issued any Tabien Baan unless they explicitly applied for a yellow book (for foreigners). So, it is entirely normal that you never had a blue book, and it does not impact the transfer of ownership. I have seen foreigners registered in a blue book by mistake but it is rare. If the blue book was ever issued, a duplicate can theoretically be obtained at the local district office where the condo is located. However, since foreigners cannot be household heads in a blue book, it's unlikely there was ever a blue book issued in your name. If the buyer (foreigner) wishes to register their residence, they can request a yellow book, which is the foreigner's version of the Tabien Baan. This is optional and mostly used for convenience (e.g., registering a car, opening a bank account, driver's license, etc.). It is not a requirement for property ownership or transfer. Visa requirement at the amphur depends on the amphur. Sometimes, there is not check. The law does not specify anything. Tons of info on internet about yellow books. -
