davehowden Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I wanted to open a deposit account with Krung Thai Bankl and one of the documents they require is a Yellow Book. Went to the Amphur at Hang Dong to find out what was currently required to get a Yellow Book and was given a small slip of paper (in Thai) which listed what was required, as follows: All the normal passport stuff (picture page, visa, extensions ...) etc. Details of my parents (DOB, DOD ...) Blue Tabien Baan for where we live. Wife's ID Need for Head Man to guarantee me by being present and presumably signing something. Also submitted Thai Marriage Certificate which was not a requirement. The following day; having made all my photocopies; I went to check that all of my ducks were in a row before invoking the Head Man from his daily labors to be told that there was a large list of Farangs wanting Yellow Books and they would call the wife when they wanted us to attend, left all the copies I had made together with wife's phone number. No receipt for my photocopies was issued. Maybe the ridiculously long winded process for getting a Residence Certificates at Promenada is triggering the surge for Yellow Books ?? Don't know if their reason for the delay is valid or just a fob off. Anybody else getting the same story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Does your police station not deliver residence certificates as I have read it often here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have banked with Ayudhya bank for ions and open several new accounts every year. You only need a passport. Find a new branch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 When i got my Yellow Book at Hang Dong 8 years ago the Lady there told us not to bother with the Village Head Man but bring Neighbours who knew me or close family of my Wife. In the end we had wife's Sister and Cousin who lived either side of us at that time and they accepted that. Just depends on the person you meet at the office on any given day, rather like all Officialdom in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehowden Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 I have now been told I need a "Letter of Guarantee" from Immigration which I interpret as a "Certificate of Residence". Am I correct ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I correct ? Most likely, never heard of a Letter of Guarantee,pity you didnt get confirmation at the time. You know how the goal post keep moving but a residence letter has always been top of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three, or is it four times, the Kweng at Nong Hoi has moved the goal posts to foil my attempts to get a Yellow Book And each time the 500 baht Certificate of Residence was his top requirement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
