What documents can I provide to prove ownership of my apartment for a visa application in Thailand?
Morning everyone. I'm just applying for a visa and i used my blue book for the apartment I own when I submitted the application as proof of accommodation. They just called me and said that the blue book is not proof but they couldn't advise me what is proof - they asked if I had some other document that said I own it. How do I prove I own the apartment to the consulate apart from the blue book? Has anyone had / solved this issue? Thanks in advance.
Answer summary
When applying for a visa in Thailand, if the blue book (which provides residential information) is not accepted as proof of property ownership, you should provide a copy of the chanote (title deed). The chanote is the official documentation that confirms ownership and should have your name listed on it in Thai. If you are a foreign owner, be aware that you may only have a blue book, which does not suffice for proving ownership.

You use the paper that has the diagram of the room on it.
It's called a โฉนด "chanote" (title deed)
Looks like this
That's what has your name on it

Foreigners should have a yellow book, not blue

believe me MOST foreigners who buy condos here have never gotten the yellow house book and few even know what it is
They usually only have a blank blue book :O <- that's because foreigners (as a general rule) can't be listed in a blue house book book.

At which Thai Consulate did you apply for a Visa? Never heard of the requirement that you need to own property in Thailand to apply for a visa.

Blue book aren't ownership papers. You will have a Title deed

They are probably referring to the title deed or Chanote as that’s the real proof of ownership.

@Steve ****
it should have your name if you’re the one who bought it. But the name will be in Thai.Steve *****
OPI see. Thanks heaps! I thought it was the blue book. Next time I'll have to take that then. Does that have your name on it?
