Confused

[boneidlegit]

I have just returned from our local amphur office. (out in the sticks).

My Wife and I are trying to get my name into her Blue Book, ( been married 11 years, always same address ) they have told me that I have to go to the British Embassy in BKK, to get a letter, saying that I have no outstanding problems etc in the U.K.

Then I have to get this letter and have it translated at one of the Ministry offices in BKK, and it must have there official stamp.

The letter is no problem as I got one 5 years ago for a different matter.

My problem is which Ministry department do I go to in BKK to get this translated and stamped.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have a Thai driving license, bank statements etc. for proof of address, but this does not appear to count for anything.

So I have to jump through the hoops.

On the way to good old Don Muang from down town BKK. If by public transport take the BTS from the embassy to Moh Chit/Chatuchak (end of the line) and take a cab from there.

Edit:

You don't have it translated there. You have to get it translated yourself at an agency near the embassy or opposite the ministry. At the ministry they legalise the document (state it is a real document from the embassy, not from Khao San Road).

This is the first time I hear about this requirement for a foreigner to get added to a blue house registration book. I always understood that this can only be done if the foreigner has Permanent Resident status.

From what I can gather there are quite a few foreigners who have them.

try a yellow tam bien baan for yourself. i have seen falangs listed on page 18 but this is usually listing the falang as the legal parent of a thai child.

Are there any stipulations to these procedures, I have a non imm O multi. but I don't work here, I am always in and out.

do you need a work permit.

It is not easy to be in the blue Tabien Baan.

The Yellow is more easily done.
