how to obtain the yellow book

**superman** · 15-11-2011, 03:41 PM

Today I went for some treatment at my local government hospital. I was also expecting to pick up my Thai Gold Card. No chance, they've put a block on issuing it to farangs. I can only get free treatment up to the level of care at that particular hospital with the card they initially issued.
I can't complain at that as my card indirectly cost me 4900 Baht and using it today I received about 10,000 Baht of treatment. Hopefully my local will get bigger and the scope of treatment will increase with it.

I believe that is how the hospital administer was explaining it to me but not sure. Seems like nothing is 'for sure' when dealing with Thai red tape. What did you have to spend for this treatment? The nominal 30 baht?

^ Nothing, completely free. The 30 Baht fee finished some years ago as far as I'm aware.

Superman, would like to get the contact address of the Notary. Tried to send you a message, but I do not have enough posts. If possible can you send this info to me.
Thanks for all the helpful information you have posted above.

Come again InKorat. Which 'notary' are we talking about. If you can relate to a post then I'll be happy to help.

To my knowledge there are no such things as Notarys here in Thailand. You have to go to your Embassy for their chop.

Do notaries exist in Thailand? Yes, they do.

Thanks Superman,

I met with the Tesiban and they immediately knew what they required. I need to make a trip to BKK to get my passport, birth certificate and marriage certificate translated and stamped and a couple local guarantors.

Since we were married outside of Thailand, they asked for a translated copy of our marriage certificate. I had a old translation (20 yrs ago), but they wanted one using the current system.

I think the birth certificate provides the legal names of the parents.

I will make a trip to Bangkok next week to get my yearly income affidavit from the embassy for my visa and also try to sort this at the same time.

I believe this is what a couple of Law Firms here were telling me when I was looking for a Notary a few years ago. From your link.

"However, Thailand has not yet enacted OFFICIALLY an Act of the Parliament for “Notary Public” which could make a problem. At the moment, it's only a regulation of the Thai Lawyer's council."

It's a moot point now I believe when one has the Yellow Book. Unless, of course, you have a rich uncle leaves you a bunch of money and you're dealing with probate long distance. In that case, you're back to the #*[at]%** Embassy for another session of financial rape.
