Do freelancers on a DTV visa need to pay tax in Thailand?

How do you pay Tax in Thailand? (for freelancer)

So if you’re in Thailand over 180 days/year but your income is exclusively paid on a EU bank account. That amount is probably not taxable in Thailand

What about the original EU country if you are no longer a tax resident there ? Assuming there’s a treaty to avoid double taxation

Freelancers are liable to pay tax if they spend 180 days or more within a calendar year. Rates of tax are 5-35 % depending on income. You do not have to show your 500K bank statement unless asked. Good idea to have to hand with your employment docs you submitted, just in case of being asked. Foreign bank statement is fine to show.

1. You become a Thai fiscal resident if you spend at least 180 days in total per calendar year in Thailand. The number of times you enter or leave the country does not matter. You may be taxed on money remitted to Thailand, with the applicable amount depending on tax treaties between Thailand and your home country.

2. So far, you do not need to show 500K THB when crossing the border, though recent reports suggest potential checks of other documents at border crossings. To be on the safe side, ensure you have the necessary documents with you. However, you will be required to show proof of funds when applying for an extension within Thailand.
