Hi folks,   I have been in thailand 7 years  on retirement visa 5 years in Takiantia pattaya .The house is in wifes name and the house book shows both wife and my 2 year old son. I have recently had to get a residence certificate in order to have the new car in my name. They kept the certificate which means i will need to get again if i sell or get new car . So i have decided to either get my name on house book or get new yellow book for me. Does anyone have recent experiance of getting this in banglamung and the reqirement needed as after reading the posts of others it seems to differ from district to district like the visa reqirements . Any help would be appreciated   . pete

Firstly unless you have Thai PR visa you will not be named on the Blue Household Card. Today I went to Banglamung Amphur to enquire about a Yellow Household card & was told that I first need to go to Immigration, without an explanation, even though we had Blue Household card, wifes thai ID, my passport with O retired visa & marriage certificate translated into Thai; my wife was with me. As our house is in Nong Prue we then went to Nong Prue (Tambon). Showed the person responsible for IDs etc our papers & only extra requirement is three photos of myself and a Thai witness in addition to my wife, plus usual photo copies of everything. Gave us his mobile number to arrange an appointment time when we are ready to proceed. Confirmed Yellow Household card would be processed within a week from application.

Please see attached pix for the demands from Pattaya City Hall. I am in the process of doing it now, I am a bit concerned about the aproval of the translating, might have to go to BKK, shit.

Next Friday I will have the letter from the Danish Consulate and get that translated to Thai, the woman in soi 13 doing the translating will stamp it but don't think they will accept it.

The Yellow Book is an interesting topic. It brings up a question that some of you might be able to answer.

What are the benefits of having a Yellow Tabien Baan?
I recognize that it provides an address, but some other folks have told me it provides other benefits/advantages, such as medical card or village funeral assistance, etc.

Would be interesting to find out what the advantages, if any, are so we could just be aware and use them as needed. Many thanks for any info on this question.

When I went for my yellow TB I was told I had to be in Thailand for a continuos 6 month period.  Is that true?

The 2008 Civil Registrations Act made it compulsory for district offices to register (with a tabien baan) all foreigners residing in their district but there is no definition of "residing" in the Act.  Perhaps a definition of 6 months' continuous residence has been introduced either through ministerial regulations or independently by your district office to avoid wastage of issuing books to tourists.  The only way you can double check this is by contacting the Local Administration Dept at the Ministry of the Interior which controls district offices.  However, local district chiefs may have the authority to impose their own definitions and checks.

Thanks,

I will follow up on that when I return to Thailand
