Neeranam Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I was told by an elderly Thai female colleague that her son-in-law(European) has managed to get a Family Certificate(he has Thai kids)(similar to the blue House Registration one, but yellow). She says he can get a residency permit, maybe without paying, after 2 years of having this. I have never heard of this! He doesn't need to show any money when renewing his visa!

Neeranam Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 That was my original thought Doc, and you know how information changes when changing hands, especially when her son-in-law doesn't speak any Thai and she only a little English. However, she is pretty high up in govt dep, and should know her stuff. Maybe her status has some bearing on the fact that her son-in-law got something we cannot. I will look into it, and would be interested to here if anyone on this forum knows anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 I believe the Tabien Baan for foreign owned condo is yellow if memory serves me. And believe in the past there were methods of obtaining PR with investments. So perhaps it is part of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danone Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 yep, the yellow tabien baan comes with condo ownership. another possibility: he paid thousands of dollars to get an elite card http://www.thailandelite.com/ that card offers free visa for five years and you enjoy certain house ownership priviledges (but only with houses owned by a certain company ... even in thailand there's no such thing as a free lunch) dont believe the info of your elderly female colleague - well, if he may have invested 100 mio baht, who knows what ways there are. but then he'd talk about it differently.

sabaijai Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Isn't there a type of PR you can get for investment purposes, and the value of your condo can be used to fulfil investment requirement (assuming the value of your condo is high enough, obviously)? Perhaps that's what Neeranam's contact is referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjp Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 I own a condo and was wondering where i get my yellow Tabien Baan from. Also, if the lady I bought the condo from still has her Talbien Baan from my address, will they still issue a Talien Baan in my name. Cheers JJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So perhaps it is part of that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I bought a condo 2 years ago and was handed with the deeds 2 blue house books (one for each unit ) is this what is called Tabien Baan Will having a blue book cause me any problems in the future as I am a British.

Potter Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 It is not Tabian baan. It is Tambian Baan. It is pronounced Tarmbiarn Baarn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 a It is not Tabian baan. It is Tambian Baan. It is pronounced Tarmbiarn Baarn. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually both spellings are used. Phuket Immigration uses the Tabian. Most use, as you say, Tambian. And undoubtedly there are other variations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muenwai2 Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 It is pronounced Tarmbiarn Baarn. Depends on which part of the country you reside. In North East the R sound is not pronounced in either word and the baarn would be pronounced something between a cockney "ban" and "bun". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiflyer1 Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 We're getting a bit off topic but i cant see how it can be Tambien or any variation thereof if ทะเบียน is what is wrote on the cover there is no "m" sound ทะ =ta and เบีน = bien, you/d have to throw a ม (mor mar) into the mix to get tambien........just my humble opinion anyways.

sabaijai Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 No such Thai word as "tambien" might be thinking of the Spanish for "also". Now back to my my question, isn't there an investment track for PR and can't the value of a purchased condo (assuming you paid in full) be counted towards that figure (whatever it is)?

astral Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 Well that went right off the topic, it was originally about the document, not a Thai spelling lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard W Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 (edited) It is not Tabian baan. It is Tambian Baan. It is pronounced Tarmbiarn Baarn. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I missed all the replies (the page must have got truncated), so I did some digging. I'll report my results regardless. I did get two hits on ทำเบียนบ้าน, and a further one on ทำเบียน, but they may be bad typing slips (next key but one). I wonder if there's confusion with ทำเนียบ 'house, residence; directory'. I actually got 7 hits on ทำเนียบบ้าน, but they have nothing to do with the thabian baan. In either case, 'tarm' is a horrible representation of the sound. It falsely suggests that the vowel is long.
