Lars, personally I am always "wary" of a "company" (or individual) who offers to "help" me obtain anything that it is easy & legal for me to obtain on my own. This Forum contains excellent information on the requirements on how to obtain a yellow book by individuals who have personally obtained (& have) one. If they are offering, out of the kindness of their hearts, to obtain one, for me, for free then that would, obviously, leave me in no worse a position than I am today. If they are suggesting that, in some way, the 'rules' have changed & it is impossible for an individual to obtain as stated on here then that would also be of interest. However I have heard of nothing on "the grapevine" that suggests that is in any way the case....

8 yrs ago, to convince the amphur office to give me a yellow book was the only stumbling block. explaining it was possible, they either finally listened or got tired of me, and simply wanted me to go away. today, with the proper paperwork, it isn't a problem, and easily issued if applicable. as Bob says, if they wish to assist and maybe make things easy, great, if a service charge is involved, it's unnecessary, as most things can be done by one's self.

the same as people recommending lawyers to assist with leases or usefructs at land office, unless something special added, it only cost less than 100 baht to do your self, why pay thousands of baht service fee for no extra services. it all is really too easy. they are all basically fill the bland forms, preloaded on the computer, which the rep simply asks you or translator what type you want. push a button, and it's done.
