TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus among recent comments is that TINs and tax clearance receipts are not currently required for renewing Non O visas for retired expats in Thailand. Several users have successfully renewed their visas without these documents, indicating that the previous concerns might be unfounded or based on misinformation.

Impossible to link the requirements as you can live quite legally in Thailand without a TIN or ever filing a tax return.

Nope. The usual internet bs. Buddy of mine got extension this morning, nothing said. Nothing to do with immigration
John **********
Why would there be? Plenty of people will legitimately have absolutely no requirement to get a TIN or file a tax return

Really you have a Thai Bank account.. β“πŸ€”

This became a matter of CRS compliance in some countries to have and operate a bank account.

Getting a TIN and filing a tax return are two very different things πŸ‘

are you such a fuckwit that you cannot read Thai tax law for yourself? The Revenue Department publishes the tax law in English. You have no idea if I am an international tax professional or not. You have no idea if I studied law or not. Your statements are demonstrably incorrect. Again use your brain and read the tax law for yourself.
Paul ***********
@Pete ******
I have.. So please go ahead and quote the relevant sections then if you like ❓

The fact you are posturing and swearing at people rather than actually citing from the tax codes... Leads me to believe you not a lawyer, never studied law and the fact you use a term like "demonstrably" suggests you are a blagger

But please do ahead and cite those sections please 🀦
Pete *******
@Paul **********
certainly. Section 3 Undecim of the Revenue Code. Section 1.
Paul ***********
@Pete ******
actually it Chapter 3 Part 1 is general Provisions under sections 38 and 39... 🀦

Tax Residency definition is section 41

You didn't even get the section names correct and the wrong section cited .. 🀦

You are a blagger you just made it all up ... 🀣

@Paul **********
your silence on this matter speaks to your stupidity. My new year’s resolution was not to interact with fuckwits. Guess I failed.
Pete *******
@Paul **********
are you stupid? Go again to the Revenue Code. Click on taxpayer identification. Section 3 Undecim or are you unfamiliar with Latin legal terminology?
Pete *******
@Paul **********
just because you’re tax resident it doesn’t automatically follow that you require a TIN.
Paul ***********
@Pete ******
and a Thai legal company appears to disagree with you, and even cites the tax code section

@Paul **********
you obviously don't read what I say. I have ZERO foreign income.
Paul ***********
@John *********
and again πŸ‘‡... It says nothing about a foreign income 🀦
John **********
@Paul **********
they cite the situation for tax payers. Not a requirement for non tax payers

@John *********
go an argue with Isaan Lawyers.. I am just citing them... 🀦

@John *********
er go and read it again... Who needs a tax number.. πŸ‘‡
Paul ***********
@John *********
"especially if" 🀦.. Are you in Thailand more than 180 days ❓... You are tax resident....
Pete *******
@Paul **********
you really are a special kind of stupid. You continue to quote bullshit websites. Quote Thai tax law as a source. Go to the Revenue Code and educate yourself.
Paul ***********
@Pete ******
so are you a tax lawyer or even a lawyer.. ❓

If not it's takes a special kind of stupid to argue with citations by a lawyer from the actual tax code 🀦

Where you study tax law ❓Dunning-Kruger U β“πŸ€£πŸ€£
Paul ***********
@Pete ******
clearly you haven't read the tax code have 🀦...lsaan lawyers cites the exact articles 🀭
Paul ***********
Paul ***********
@Pete ******
it's lsaan lawyers website ... 🀦..

The code sections are quoted princess..rebutt them if you must Rumpole of the Bailey 🀭
Paul ***********
@John *********
clearly you can't read... So once again πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡... Section 100 cited below.. Tax resident.. 180 plus in country.. πŸ‘‡

You can argue the toss all you like.. I would suggest you read the tax code πŸ‘
Pete *******
@Paul **********
it’s badly written and misleading. Instead for a source use the actual tax law. Thai Revenue Department website and go to Tax Payer Identification.
Paul ***********
@Pete ******
doesn't it ❓.. As mentioned from personal experience in other countries under CRS compliance they wanted tax number under threat of closing your bank account...

Which is consistent with what this says πŸ‘‡..

@Paul **********
of course I do. But this year I will bring zero income into Thailand and I am retired so no income in Thailand either
Paul ***********
@John *********

John **********
@Paul **********

Paul ***********
@John *********
