Some offices ask for a residence certificate from Immigration or the embassy, and some interview the applicant in Thai. The government fee is nominal. The witnesses and documents must be genuine: using false evidence to get a name into a house registration is a crime, punished in the case of a foreigner by six months to five years&#8217; imprisonment and a fine of 20,000 to 200,000 baht (Section 50).<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><p><strong>Une fois \u00e9mis<\/strong>, the yellow book opens the door to the pink ID card for foreigners under Sections 38\/1 to 38\/3, and it simplifies a Thai driving licence, opening a bank account, buying a vehicle and later immigration paperwork.
