Can a foreigner with a DTV visa apply for a Thai pink ID in Samui?

@Sea ******

explain what do you get from it and how much do you charge please ? I had for 3-4 years and the only time I use it was to get local price on a national park 😂

@Tai ******

explain the process please. My daughter was born in Thailand has a pink card but no Thai Health Insurance. I would greatly appreciate it if you can explain the process.

@Tai ******

Being legally married to a Thai government employee provides spouse with Thai Civil Servant Medical Benefit Scheme entitlement to treatment in Thai government (National Health Service) hospitals.

@Tai ******

not true

@Tai ******

my understanding you would have to work to get under Section 33 then retire to get under Section 39

Not correct I got it last month around Bangkok

You can send me a private message, and if you're willing to provide a small supper and make a donation, I will list the complete process and the required documents. However, it may vary slightly from region to region. You will definitely need registered property, ideally an apartment in your name, and a Thai friend to assist you with the application.

I don't have to share my experiences with anyone. I've lived here for five years, and what I've learned is that I can't get information from anyone when I need it. I have to gather my own experiences and learn the hard way. If someone wants to know something, they can pay for it. If you own property, for example, an apartment, it's very easy to get a yellow house registration book, which also grants you the pink ID card. It's a bit more difficult with a house, but still possible. The changes to the DTV (Directorate-to-Thai) regulations only came into effect in recent years. Initially, there were no problems at all. You can also easily open a Thai bank account with the pink ID card. I also have no problems opening a bank account with my visa. It always depends on the discretion of the individual employee or clerk, their friendliness, and perhaps not necessarily in a tourist area. And if I tell you about my experience with the DTV, you'll be amazed. After almost two and a half years and multiple entries, you'll realize that this is considered a visa run, and even I experienced having my entry denied the last time I tried to enter. You need to have the DTV (Documentation Certificate) translated into Thai and certified. It's a 5-year multi-entry visa, and you need to inform the authorities accordingly. If you own property where you are also registered in Charnot (Thailand), it's no problem to get a form from the relevant Ampor (town hall) or municipal office outlining the requirements for the yellow house book. These vary slightly from region to region. There are also agencies that can handle this for you, but if you have a Thai friend who can also provide a sworn statement on-site, it's not a problem. I have a yellow house book for both my apartment and my house.

@มาร์คุท ******

just wondering how the Thai government can allow pink id and yellow book when they consider dtv as tourist visa and won't even allow dtv holders to open bank ac. Can you share your invaluable experience

@มาร์คุท ******

You married to a Thai woman? Otherwise, how?

@มาร์คุท ******
