Yellow House Book ?

[iammike]

Went yesterday to Kap Choeng Immigration and they told me for me to be able to use this office I need to get a Yellow House Book, which is almost the same as the House Book for Thais, except that the Yellow House Book is for foreigners only.

So my question do you have one ? And if you have one please add a message how difficult it was to get one.

Here a good explanation what a Yellow House Book (YTB) is: https://xpat.life/thailand/tabien-baan

Thanks in advance

When I got married at the amphur in Lahansai, seven years ago, they issued me one right away. I just asked for it when giving the marriagepaperwork to the civil servant and he told one of the ladies working there to do the paperwork. Was "married" in 10 minutes and had the yellow tabian ban 5 minutes later.

Thanks.

Sounds hopeful, we got married in Banglamung (Pattaya) in 2011 and there was no mentioning of the Yellow House Book.

What I have read about is that it seems a hit and miss getting it but it's definitely easier to obtain if your Married.

Sounds about right Dundee.. Same for me.. When we registered our marriage at the Ampur, here in NonSuwan, the wife simply asked them to issue me a yellow book as well.. All it took was a couple of passport size photos and an extra 30 minutes.. One reminder guys.. Always keep some passport size photos with you whenever you do business at any govt office here.. You never know when they'll ask for them.. That includes photos of your significant other as well..

So........

Could you get a Yellow Book on your old Pattaya property and then 'transfer' up here. The transfer is certainly a piece of cake.

I transferred my YTB fro Chiang Mai to Kap Choeng no problem.

The last time we tried to get a Yellow House Book the Buriram agent denied it because it messed over Thai Girls that used Farang money to buy the property. 


Oh Well, maybe next year.

Thx again

But Urleft whenever we bought land here or a house, I as foreigner had to sign a paper at the Land Office that the land / house is not common (sin somrod) but her property (sin son tua) so in a divorce I can't claim it's mine. Also IMO (what I have read) is that a Yellow House Book for a single Guy is very difficult to obtain but if you are legally married it shouldn't be. However YMMV as T.I.T.

Has anyone obtained a yellow book from Lam Plai Mat?  Other than MIL, her blue book, marriage document that was issued there, photos.....anything else?  Wife says dealing with Buriram easy but Lam Plai Mat not so easy.

Why are you so concerned DD,as you are only here for 3 days every 2 years!!

[Freddy]

DD.....I haven't got a yellow house book however last October I was going to attempt to get one. We went to the Lam Plait Mat office and the lady we spoke with had some English, knew what we wanted and was able to explain exactly what was required. She said no problem. In the event I decided that it wasn't a necessary require,net for me however had I pursued it, that first visit seemed promising and I didn't leave thinking it would be a nightmare. Sorry nothing more specific but as I say, Lam Plait Mat office seemed positive at that time.

[DeputyDavid]

Thanks Freddy.  Wife called today  and got a list of requirements ànd she said they
 were very helpful as well. We will have some running around to do but it does seem doable.  Did they mention to you notarized  copies of passport certified by consulate including get Thai translations?   They also want proof of residence from KCI.

[Freddy]

Hi DD. to be honest I don't remember the exact detail, only that as you say do-able with a bit of running around and that the lady I spoke with seemed positive and was well aware of foreigners requirement for Yellow TB.  When I arrived here permanently last September I was told that if I wanted a new truck registered in my name, then I would need my own TB. That is why I made the enquiry. Once I found out that this was stuff and nonsense I no longer had requirement for TB so didn't go any further.
Glad they are still being helpful at the LPM office and hope you get TB OK.
