Hi,

A foreigner can aquire a yellow house book (thai language:Tabian Ban Si Luang).

Best simple option:
Lease the property for more than 3 year and register it in the land office.
*Usually foreigners make a lease of the maximum period allowed by thai law: 30 years.
MOST IMPORTANT:
We are not talking about private contract between the Foreigner and a Thai national (in many cases,the girlfriend/wife).
The contract have to be registered in the Land office.

Than you go with the contract to the municipality office in the amphur/city where the land has been registered and show them the contract and ask/demand your "tabian ban".

Sometimes  the officers incharge will claim "farang mai dai" prove them wrong and tell them farang can do. 
Than, they can look into the thai law book they have in their office and surprise. "farang dai" / farang can do ! 

*Of course no need to mention you should need to take along your passport as well.
**Your visa type has nothing to do about the house book.
As long as you are legaly staying in Thailand you can do the yellow house book.

If you need any further help with it pplease let us know and advice with us on the forum as well.

Hi
I have got one from Surin Amphur.
It should be noted that this gives you NO additional LEGAL rights to home ownership, but with it, you will never need further Residence Letters from the now far away Immigration Office.
Any questions and I will be happy to help.

The legal right on the land is depand on the contract you "lock"/register in the land office.
Of course it's not giving you the right to sell the land/property itself.but with the right contract you can achieve few strong important LEGAL rights on it. At least until the lease expired.

Sorry, You are right and I did not make my previous post clear.
I was talking solely about the Yellow Tabien Baan book.

Thanks Dave.
Nice to hear that someone has got one. What did you need papers wise to get it?
Would like to know if anyone has got one in Buri Ram Amphur office. Just so I know if I will be the first falang to ask for one or not.

[Admin]

I have.

You'll not be the first farang in Buriram to get yellow house book.
(Farang get Yellow house book, Thai gets the blue one).

Documents:
Depand which root you choose to go.
If you lease the property/land. first register it in the land office.
The land office will give you the contract and their approved stamps on it.
after you pay their Fees.
Read here to get a review on property tax laws:

Than you go to the amphur office and request for the yellow house book.

*Of course, take along with you Original passport + 2 copies.

Please advice here if you need further help with it.

Much like most things here, it was a slow and painful process involving many photcopies 

I had to have an 'interview' at Amphur but that was easy as they got out my 'paperwork' relating to my marriage registration there, that seemed to have all the answers on it
Wife had to take ID card and HER tabien Baan AS DID the village Headman( Poo Yai Baan). I had previously got a Residence Letter from the now closed Kap Cheung to confirm Immigration were happy with my status.

IT WAS FREE TOO! but as I like to be pre-armed, I would suggest a visit to your Amphur incase they have an information sheet on this subject.

3100034, thanks for that information.

There is always conflicting talk about house and land issues.

When we paid for "our" house and land, I was the one that handed over the money at the Land Office. I expected to have to sign a "waiver" about this (as previously posted on many forums) transaction involving a Farang. It didnt happen, but the channot is not in MY name. No dramas there and I was not intrested if there was a way around this anyway.

Are you saying that you have purchased a property and have the channot in your name....company name?

Or are you talking about a 30 year "unferstruct" on the property? With a Thai somewhere involved?

Thanks

ANDI understand you own the house in your name, but who owns the land its sitting on?
I guess they would need to accompany you to Amphur, but I am honestly not sure.

So i have a house immovable property sitting on thai government Land and the Local Government Auction sold it to me....But i am interested in Squatters Rights and they have them here read it some time ago.......absent minded now! forgot tecnicalities
