How can a foreigner obtain a Yellow house book in Nakon Ratchasima?

Yes true mine request same but to travel to bkk get translation mfa stamped I happily just pay 500 for RC if I need 2

And no mfa certification I don't believe

Why was it mickey mouse if my translation was correct? 🤔 I didn't need any witnesses either. I did do my interview with the officer at the Amphur in Thai though, so maybe that helps

@Mark *******

Which Mickey Mouse district was that if it accepted a translation made by you?

@Paul ******

unless they own a condo in which case they can

100% totally agreed

500 baht same day 15 minutes wait at my immigration 500 baht next day at cnx immigration

As I said yellow book is just a glorified residence certificate if you want to jump through all the hoops translating documents mfa certified to save 500 baht and trip to immigration that's a personal choice

@Tony ****

There isn't a legal requirement set by the government, but local Amphurs can vary (as clearly they do in your situation) in terms of how they deal with applications . It may well be worth going through an agent in your situation as they can talk directly to the officials directly.

@Mark *******

it is in my area. They won’t issue one unless married to Thai. Even though I have long term rental contract for a house. Go figure!!

@Max ************

Such benefits that accrue from the YB/PC are the same throughout Thailand as they're issued centrally (by the Thai government administered through the individual Amphurs)

@Mark *******

In many provinces the yellow house book and the pink ID-card are totally useless. Just saying.

@Mark *******

500-1000 baht is if you're correct the most expensive residence certificate I've ever heard of.

@Max ************

Chiang Mai have at various times charged between 500-1000 baht. Seems to vary depending on circumstances 😳

@David ********

As one example, with a yellow book and pink card you can buy/sell vehicles instantly without having to go to immigration first. It's not a life changer for sure, but it's more than simply a case of having to avoid getting a RC every time you need one (which is only even remotely convenient if you live close to an immigration office in the first place remember)

@Paul ******

just for info. I am not married to a Thai, Never have been and have a yellow housework for my address.

@David ********

I agree, but I'm only paying 300 baht and it just takes 30 min. 😎

@Paul ******

Being married to a Thai has never been a requirement.

@Paul ******

Why would you doubt that? There's no universal requirement to be married in order to qualify to get a yellow book.

Of what use is a yellow book anyway only for proof of address just pay immigration 500 baht each time for residence certificate that's just me
