In Phuket, my Thai wife owns a house which she has rented for a long time to a foreigner who has a work permit for working out of Thailand (he works in the oil rig business, but he lives in Thailand) . My wife has a blue book for her house (that she rents to him). She went with him to the local district city hall and he was able to obtain a 'yellow book' (for the house he rents - not this is NOT a condo) and then obtain a pink-ID. It was for that office for my wife to accompany him. Possibly his having a work permit also made this possible. To say I do not understand all of this would be an understatement. So for that Phuket office, one need not own the property to get a Yellow book. But one needs one landlord to support one.
