Just in the process of getting a house yellow book + Thai ID card from the govt. office in Bang Chak. They already gave me a list of things needed but I just wanted to ensure I've got all the things correct the first time to avoid wasting more time with this, as the gf also has to take a day off work for it.
Anyone did the same process? Below is the list of docs (some a little unsure about)
1. Extract from the population registry from my home country, showing my parents names, translated in Thai and certified by the MFA Thailand.
2. Certified copy of my passport from the Finnish Embassy translated into Thai. This is already certified by the MFA of Finland on the stamp. Does this further need to be certified by the MFA of Thailand?
3. Photos of myself in the condo
4. Work permit
Anything to watch out for in the MFA? the translation agency said they'd get the stamp for 1500 baht per set of documents. Not sure if a ripoff or a good price for the service (trying to estimate the amount of hassle/time it takes in there?) the MFA website says its 400 baht per document.
