Are you a foreigner living in Thailand seeking to access government services, or obtain a Thai ID card? Look no further than the yellow tabien baan, a government-issued document that lists all foreign individuals holding a 'Temporary Stay' or a 'Long Stay' visa/visa exemption who live at the condo or house address specified in the house registration book.
イエロー・タビエン・バーンとは？
The yellow tabien baan, also known as the house registration book, is a booklet issued by the Thai government. It lists all foreign individuals holding a 'Temporary Stay' or a 'Long Stay' visa/visa exemption who live at a specific address in Thailand. Many foreigners in Thailand do not bother registering on a yellow tabien baan due to a lack of awareness of their existence. However, registering on a tabien baan provides foreigners with a unique ID number, useful for dealing with certain government agencies.
イエロー・タビエン・バーンの取得条件
タイのイエロー・タビエン・バーンの申請要件は、登録事務所によって異なります。そのため、現地の登録機関に必要書類を確認することをお勧めします。少なくとも、申請者は以下の書類の原本およびコピーを提出する必要があります：
- 現在のパスポート（有効なタイ入国許可証を含む）
- 労働許可証（該当する場合）
- Marriage certificate together with the Thai spouse's national ID card and blue tabien baan (if any)
- Lease agreement along with the landlord's ID and blue tabien baan (if renting the property)
- 既存の青いタビアンバン（交換する場合）
In addition, the district or local registration office may request a notarized copy of the personal information page of the applicant's passport translated into Thai and passport-style photographs. Additionally, applicants will have to be accompanied by one or two Thai witnesses who'll be asked to attest to their identity and residential status and undergo an informal interview.
イエロー・タビエン・バーンの入手先
When buying a house or condo in Thailand, the new owner is typically given the tabien baan for the property during the transfer process at the Land Office. However, it'll usually be a blue tabien baan (or 'Thor Ror 14') where only the names of Thai owners and those foreigners who have permanent residency in Thailand can be entered. It's possible for a non-resident foreign owner living in their property to swap the blue tabien baan for a yellow tabien baan, into which their name can be added. To apply for a yellow tabien baan, visit the amphoe office responsible for administering civil registrations for the municipality or district in which the condo or house is located.

タイ・イエロー・タビエン・バーンの条件
There are two types of tabien baan: the blue tabien baan for Thai nationals and permanent residents, and the yellow tabien baan for foreigners without permanent residency in Thailand. The yellow tabien baan lists all foreign individuals holding a 'Temporary Stay' or a 'Long Stay' visa/visa exemption who live at the condo or house address specified in the house registration book.
登録された場所に住む必要があるか？
No, it's very common for most Thai's not to live where they are registered, particularly people who have to move provinces for work. Landlords generally don't let their tenants be registered on their tabien baan either.
タイの黄色いタビエン・バーンの加工時間
区役所がどの程度発行に慣れているかにもよるが、青いタビエンバーンと黄色いタビエンバーンは、1時間以内で手間なく発行できる。遠隔地の地区事務所では、その事務所の上級職員のサインが必要な場合、数日かかることもある。
イエロー・タビエン・バーンを持つメリット
The yellow tabien baan is widely accepted nationwide whenever your address in Thailand needs to be verified. It is useful when registering a Thai pre-paid SIM card, arranging a home broadband service, obtaining a Thai driver's license, enrolling as a patient at a hospital or clinic, purchasing a vehicle, transferring ownership of real estate, checking into a hotel or for an internal flight, opening a Thai bank account, or setting up mains electricity or water supply. Additionally, it offers the holder the opportunity to secure the Thai price at venues, like National Parks, which inflict two-tier admission rates and makes them eligible to receive a Pink ID card for foreigners, not to mention affording a sense of being more a part of Thai society.
結論
タイでイエロー・タビエン・バーンに登録するのは簡単な手続きで、さまざまな行政サービスや金融機関、固有のID番号を利用することができます。要件や手続きにかかる時間は登録事務所によって異なりますが、イエロー・タビエン・バーンの取得はタイに住む外国人にとって重要なステップです。
