Seismic Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I have heard much about the so called "yellow book" , could one of the members fluent in thai please give me the thai description of this. I am trying to explain it to my wife, so if you could give me the thai name of this it would be much appreciated. regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Traveller Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) It's commonly refer to as Tabian Baan book, or สำเนาทะเบียนบ้าน ท.ร.14 is the (blue coloured) house registration book for Citizens and Permanent Residents, while ท.ร.13 is the yellow house registration book for people who reside in Thailand unlawfully or on a temporary basis. ie. people on non-immigrant visas. It likely Thai's have not heard of the latter, but will know the former. Edited April 5, 2011 by Time Traveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you can get your name on the yellow house registration without having a valid visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samran Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 (edited) good spot Mac. Meaculpa on my part is warranted. wonder how it work then to get on the tabieen baan if you are illegal then? edit - just had a look through some Thai websites, and it definitely referred to those who had entered the country ไม่ชอบดวยกฎหมาย.

Samran Yeah, and reading it makes me wonder how I'm eligible for one since I'm here legally. Oops, I fall under the second phrase, "sua khao," or "short-timer." 20++++ years is short in geologic terms. Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time Traveller Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 I guess the only "unlawful" residents or people without non-immigrant visas that would be allowed to be registered on House registration are stateless or non-thai mountain ethnic groups who have been living in Thailand for most if not all of their lives and who have not yet acquired citizenship. I've read where some such persons have been registered in yellow books before, so assume they are the only people it would apply for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
