dighambara Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 UbonJoe is correct, head to your local office and ask the requirements. Depending on where you will be living and what the Amphur requires, be ready to wait for it. I know guys who have picked them up after a week and me who picked mine up last week with a wait of 6 months. I hope you have an easier time than me. Both my first and my second 'Yellow Book' were simply the fallout of buying a house. The developer had a list of documents needed to purchase. We paid in installments as the houise was being built and my yellow book was handed over with the Blue book as we took posession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh needed a certificate of residence from Thai immigration as well ..... Mine was made on the spot, done in half an hour and than the boss of the teesabaan had to sign. That took a bit longer as he was in a meeting, but they delivered my yellow book to me at home the same day. It's nice living in a small community. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Takhli is located in Nakon Sawan province and was/is a major Air Force base as well as a railhead. Until 1975 about 5,000 Americans lived in that area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomallison Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I was informed at the Amphur on koh samui that the cost of putting me in a yellow book was 10,000 baht by one of the women. ended up not needing the yellow book anyway, but has anyone else had to pay for a book ? Officially, I believe therei no charge. I personally paid nothing for my yellow book, issued in North Thailand. Maybe your Amphur are looking to have a party. bet they would not invite me, despite being a benefactor ! Sorry. In my haste with your reply I missed out 1 word in The last sentence. It should read: 'Maybe your Amphur Office are looking to have a party.' Anyhow, I am sure that the message is clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khunangkaro Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Just after we married at the Ampher I asked for yellow book. The Supervisor said, must have "official" (whatever that is?) translation of passport, no need to legalize at MOF in BKK. I argued that all info in all marriage papers are legally translated ready available. The man gave me a copy of regulations (Thai). Translation PP needed, point. On the Net some "translator" offered to do for BHT800 which I refused for obvious reasons. Once in Ubon one lady from a bookstore made a good looking printed translation that came with a copy of her ID within an hour for BHT100. Next time at Ampher with translation and the regular copies from the folder we always bring, I got the yellow housebook instantly free of charge, no photos needed, witnesses always there as the ladies know my wife for a long time and me as well for some time.

Route21 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 (edited) Now this looks really strange to me, you can only be registered in blue Thabian baan if you are a permanent resident...correct me if I am wrong? I think the confusion arises in that they both say, in Thai, "Copy of Thabian Baan" (i.e. House Registration) on the front cover. They are absolutely identical documents (except the one with the yellow cover, for non-Thais, has ท.ร. 13 in the top right hand corner of the cover and the blue covered one, for Thais, ท.ร. 14).

Route21 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Some other things that might be of interest, related to the House Registration books: Everyone is entered on a separate page of their blue/yellow book, complete with a 13-digit "ID" number, their parent's 1st names (but not surnames) and nationalities (and "ID" numbers, if Thai). It also notes the previous registered address of those "registered". So, although a foreigner may not be "registered" in a "blue-book", their 1st name and nationality could appear as a named parent of someone who is "registered" in a "blue-book".

Arkady Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 TR 13 yellow book is for foreigners on temporary visas and illegal immigrants with special permission to remain. TR 14 blue book is Thai citizens and permanent residents with Alien Certificate (red book). This is taken from the Department of Provincial Administration's Handbook on Civil Registration and Nationality 2011 http://www.dopabook.com:8085/ebook/view.jsp?id_PageBook=28201&booktype=2 Some officials seem happy to put foreigners on temporary visas into blue books in spite of regulations.

They do seem to be a lazy bunch of people, if they can't be bothered to spend 5 minutes looking up an unfamiliar procedure in the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
