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

@Paul ******

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

@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.

@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!!

@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.

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

@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)

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

@Mark *******

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

100% totally agreed

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)

@David ********

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

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

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

@Mark *******

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

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