Home » Reader question » Reader question: What is the difference between the yellow and blue booklet?
Dear readers,
What exactly is meant by the yellow book and the blue book. I own a condo, will I be in a yellow book or a blue book? What's the difference between the two?
Regards,
Guido (BE)
These are address registration booklets. The booklet is called the thabiejen orbit (ทะเบียนบ้าน, thá-biejen-bâan). The blue (ท.ร. 13) is for people with Thai nationality and people with Permanent Residency. The yellow book (ท.ร. 14) is the registration for (most) foreigners. There are few foreigners with a Thai residence permit, so you will be in the yellow Thai job book.
Registration goes through the town hall, the Amphur (อำเภอ, am-phuh). In English: district office.
Just the opposite I think… Thor Ror 13 is Yellow and Thor Ror 14
Just look at the booklet in the top right corner
https://www.thaicitizenship.com/yellow-tabien-baan/
https://www.thailandlawonline.com/article-older-archive/thai-house-registration-and-resident-book
Are you actually required to have a yellow book?
No, the yellow Tabien Baan is not an obligation.
It is especially practical if you need to prove your address in Thailand for some reason. You do not have to go to Immigration for a “Proof of Residence”.
But perhaps it would now be practical if one were to ask for proof of address to re-enter Thailand... and one would then also accept the Yellow Tabien Lane for that. Who knows ? 😉
Corr. Thor Ror 13 is Yellow and Thor Ror 14 is blue
Oops, indeed Ronny. Excuse.
ท.ร. (pronounced Toh-Roh, in English Tor-Ror)13 is yellow and for foreigners without PR status. Toh-Roh 14 is navy blue and the standard registration booklet.
It is an abbreviation for ทะเบียนราษฎร์: thá-biejen & râa-sà-don, registration & population. In short, document for population registration with a number behind it.
You also really get a “yellow-book” if you are not a permanent resident, but are married to a Thai person, for example, and have a Non-O immigrant declaration. With this yellow booklet you can even get a pink Thai ID. Your ID number is then equal to your Tax number.
Incidentally, many authorities do not understand that you have a Thai ID (pink) (because there are few people who do this) and they usually look at you like “what have you got again”…give me your passport or your driver's license.
Can be useful for quick in and out at Immigration on Suvarnabhumo
You can also obtain the yellow book without being married. The pink Thai ID card is of little use, it is not accepted as a certificate of residence or as a surrogate for this, and it is of no use to the bank.
That is not entirely true.
I could go to immigration with it, instead of the yellow booklet, which was still on the table at home, to take with me to immigration.
Sometimes I can go to the bank with it – sometimes not, depending on the branch and what you are doing. (cash withdrawal almost always passport)
I can take it to the (state) hospital.
I can take it to the Amphur for a stamp on my proof of life.
Good Morning,
It is not mandatory to have a yellow or blue booklet.
I myself own a condo (foreign name) and received a blue book at the town hall because I am the only owner. Not married to Thai or anything.
I just want to say that also a foreigner can be in possession of blue tambien track.
Greetings, Joe
A house has a blue book, I was also a condo owner and had a blue book. However, my name was not in it, so it was empty. Whose name is in the blue book has nothing to do with who owns it. A Thai can have ten homes and rent them out, for example, then the corresponding blue books can also be empty. If the owner agrees, the tenant can be added to the blue book. If you rent a house as a foreigner, you can also get a yellow book if the owner agrees, because of the usually paper trade usually not.
That's right Joop, every house or condo has a blue book. Only if you are not a permanent resident will you not be listed as a resident in that book.
@ gort,
I do have a tax number and no pink ID card.
Maybe other TB goers can tell or know more about this.
I obtained a tax number at the revenue office, and a number on my pink ID card at the Amphur. These are two completely different numbers. Having a pink ID card is nice, but at least for me it is of no value. Next month I have to renew my driver's license and then a yellow booklet is useful, saves 500 thb for a certificate of recidivism.
One of the great advantages of the yellow book is that if you buy a car, motorcycle or moped, you can easily put it in your name.
And you don't have to go to the local immi again for the umpteenth time for a resident's declaration of where you stay or live.
You can also quickly get a pink Thai ID card for what it's worth.
The yellow booklet is also a solution when applying for and renewing your driver's license, so you don't have to go after a residents' statement, etc. again.
The booklet also comes to the table as a solution when applying for tax liability in Thailand.
Having this booklet is also a solution when opening a Thai bank account in your name.
Jan Beute.
