Yellow También Baan

[asiaexpat]

I have been told my Yellow Tambien Baan can not be used as certification of residence when buying a motorbike or car. Also, I was told the Land Transport Office will not accept a Yellow Tambien Baan when applying for a drivers license. Can anyone with recent experience verify this? I reside in Bangkok and have a Non-O visa (based on marriage to a Thai.)

I used mine for my driving license.

Mine was eagerly accepted by the Toyota sales rep when purchasing a new car.

I used mine when renewing my driving license back in November.

Thanks to all for the recent information.

of course it can be used, it is legally valid on par with blue Tabien Baan, but contains more info

I used my yellow book to buy my car and get a driving license here in Bangkok....worked great....I'm on a Non-OA (retirement visa/extension of stay). Seems a yellow book overcomes the fears that you are just passing through, a tourist for a few weeks/months, etc. When ever I'm dealing with some Thai govt agency I always submit a copy of my yellow book, whether the agency required/requested such paperwork or not....guess I just want to point out to them I live here and that my residence in Thailand is officially recognized by my district/khet office via the yellow book.

Thanks to all for the recent information.

I have used my yellow book for both vehicle purchase and Thai DL in Udon.

Who was giving you bum information? Someone who doesn't have a yellow book maybe?

Who is telling you this?

I used it as proof of address (instead of embassy letter) to get 2 1 year licences and 1 5 year driving licence

Used it to buy a new Toyota. 1 New motorbike in my name and finally for the transfer of a second hand truck.

Alao they love it at the embassy when i use it as supporting documentation for my multiple NON IMM O VISA

Who told you as a previous poster said.... The MIL? ...Someone who does not have one?....Barstool banter?
