Anyone applied for the yellow book Tabian Baan for foreigners? As I understand it I need to get my passport verified at the British Embassy then take this to Chaeng Wattana MOFA for translation then back to my local govt office with all the other documents. My question is, do I need an appointment at the Embassy or can somewhere else do it, e.g. VFS Global? do I get it over the counter there and then or do I come back another day? Any charge ( a stupid question but anyone know how much)?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for applying for the yellow book (Tabian Baan) for foreigners can vary by district (amphur) in Thailand. Generally, you may need to first check with your local amphur office for their specific requirements. Typically, the steps include getting your passport verified at the British Embassy, which may require an appointment; checking if services like VFS Global can assist; getting your passport translated, often performed by a local approved translator; and gathering additional documents like photos and a copy of your spouse's housebook if applicable. Fees for these services may vary, and it is important to note that requirements can differ throughout various areas in Thailand, leading to some offices requiring different documentation.
