Is it possible to get your name on tabien baan, blue book or yellow book, while under a dtv.

Prefer comments from people who have actually done it before.

Answer summary

While under a DTV (Diplomatic Visa), you cannot get your name on a Tabien Baan (blue house book), as it is restricted to Thai citizens. However, it is possible to obtain a yellow book, which may vary by local jurisdiction. Many expats find the yellow book useful, although experiences with it differ.

Yes for the yellow book, but I have found much use for it (in 10 years), with with the tightening security that might changed.

Why do you want it? I've found the pink card much more useful. I've used at dentists, doctors, hospitals at the police station lol

NO, the Tabien Baan, the blue house book is only for Thai citizens, not for foreigners.

You can apply for a yellow book, more info at your local ampheur as requirements can change.
