Tabien baan

[houstoniron]

I have a question on the Tabien Bann housebook. I am an American citizen and purchased a condo in Pattaya in my name. I have a blue Tabien Baan book with my name in it.

 

My wife and I and out children split time between Pattaya and our home in Korat. 

 

She is the owner of our home in Korat and has a Blue Tabien Baan with herself and our children listed.

 

My question is can I be added to my wife's TB in Korat. Then I would be registered in Two housebooks?

impossible for a farang to have a blue book as they only issue yellow books to farang

Indeed, unless you are a Thai citizen you should not be in the blue book.

 

And no, you (or a Thai) can't be in two housebooks at the same time.

Interesting I do have a blue book and my name is in it...

As others have stated , that is a mistake, only Thais are allowed to be listed in a Blue Book.  If your name is in the Blue Book then it was entered  erroneously by someone

The only way a non-Thai citizen can be correctly entered into a blue book is if they hold Permanent Residence. 

 

If you don't have PR I doubt you are in the blue book.

 

A Thai person can only be in one blue book at any one time. This is because the blue book has nothing to do with ownership. The blue book is a civil registration system for Thai people (and PR's).

 

One person, one entry. Non PR foreigners can get a Yellow Book.
