Transcript of the above video: 

As the title of this video suggests, we are asking the question, whether or not a Yellow House Book or Yellow Tabian Baan changes whether or not one needs to go ahead and do 90-day reporting at Thai Immigration. For those who are unaware, if you are in Thailand on a Non-Immigrant Visa be it a Non-Immigrant Business Visa, Non-Immigrant O Visa for Retirement or Marriage, something like an ED Visa; they say the LTR Visa is exempt from the 90-day reporting but there is nothing in statutory law which backs that up, so yet again I think that's the BOI basically just pulling things out of the air because it's not based in legal reality. Meanwhile, though personally everybody that's in Thailand both purportedly and as a matter of practice, has to deal with 90-day reporting; even Elite Visa holders have to deal with 90-day reporting. 

A question that often comes up amongst especially the foreign expat community and especially the expat community married to Thai nationals is this. "Does getting a Yellow House book then allow me to go ahead and not have to do 90-day reporting because they are already aware of my address?" Now Common Sense would dictate that yes, you don't need to do that, but legal systems don't most the time end up resulting in commonsensical outcomes. And the fact is, the Immigration Act of 1979 here in Thailand created the duty to do 90-day reporting. The Civil Registration Act of 1991 I believe created the Yellow Tabian Baan, the Yellow House Book. They are two different things; they don't have anything to do with one another. So being in a Yellow House Book means you are operating under the auspices of the Civil Registrations Act of '91. Dealing with Immigration matters means you are under the auspices of the Immigration Act of 1979. They have two different sets of criteria and requirements. One does not have anything to do with the other. They are sort of mutually exclusive of one another in terms of practical effect. 

So the thing to take away from this video is getting a Yellow House Book can be a benefit but understand that it does not have any impact on whether or not you have to do 90-day reporting here in the Kingdom of Thailand.
