Proof of residence

[djw238]

Will a 'blue book' from ownership of a condo work instead of a 'residence certificate when selling a bike? A blue book doesn't have a foreigner's name on it?

Cheers.

If the blue book does not have your name in it how does it prove you own/live there ?

If you have a blue book you can make a yellow book (Tabien Baan) which is basically a proof of residence. Not that easy to do. Better do it another easier way. Google will provide you many topics on how to get a proof of residence. This forum also has numerous threads on this.

That's what I would like to know too. I was j told you could use a blue book, instead of going to immigration to get a residence permit. will using a work permit as residence save me the trip to immigration? Cheers.

Work permit is ok. I use mine instead of a residency cert.

yellow book, residence certificate or work permit only

Who told you that? If it was a Thai, that Thai was probably thinking your name was in the blue book because that's how it works for "Thais", but you are not a Thai citizen so your name does not appear in the blue book.

And to gum up the works even more , some Land Transport Offices will not even accept a Yellow Book (Pattaya specifically) but I have never read here a TV any LTO not accepting a work permit in lieu of a Residence Certificate issued by Immigration or your Embassy

Pattaya accepts yellow book no problem, I have bought and sold numerous vehicles over the last 6 months using yellow book

Contentious issue, some people have been able to use it at Pattaya LTO, others have not. Do a TV SEARCH : Yellow Book + Pattaya LTO

Similar to those who have had to pay Customs to import their household goods and those who have gotten thru for free or a minimal charge

The one thing I have learned after 10 years here, nothing is the same for everyone
