TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, expats can obtain a Thai Tax Identification Number (TIN) while on a DTV visa if they stay more than 180 days. It's possible to receive a TIN regardless of visa status, including tourist visas, provided there is assessable income. To apply, you should visit the nearest tax department.

DTV VISA RESOURCES / SERVICES

Take the basic DTV Qualification Test to see if you're eligible for the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV).

You can get it in any type of visa. Even a stamp on arrival tourist visa. They will ask whats the purpose of getting one.

yes you just have to leave and come back

Simon *********

so technically no

Anna *********

no, technically not 180+ consecutively

If youre going to be pedantic be exact😀

You can stay 3 x 90days which is more than 180 but

Not consecutively but perfectly legal

it's 180 days in a calender year so leaving and coming back will mean you exceed the tax number of days within the calender year!

You can obtain a TIN if you have assessable income regardless of your visa status.
