Do I have to pay tax on an education visa in Thailand?
Hi. Please advise re paying tax on an education visa.
Answer summary
The obligation to pay taxes in Thailand is not directly related to the type of visa held, such as an education visa. Instead, it hinges on your status as a Thai tax resident, which is defined by spending more than 180 days in Thailand during a tax year. Additionally, if you're referring to VAT, tourists are not eligible for refunds.

Whether you have to pay tax in Thailand or not is nothing to do with the visa you are on. It depends on being a Thai tax resident (spending more than 180 days inside Thailand in a tax year)

Thanks for that. So it's 180 days before one is deemed tax resident ?Todd *********

unless your visa is LTR

If you are talking about VAT, you are not a tourist so no refund.
