Do I need a Thai Tax number if I stay over 180 days on a DTV as a Remote Worker?
Hey Guys so being here on a DTV as a Remote Worker for an American LLC, staying for over 180 days, do I need a Thai Tax number?
Answer summary
If you are staying in Thailand on a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) for more than 180 days, you become a Thai tax resident automatically. However, you only need to obtain a Thai Tax Identification Number (TIN) if you earn 120,000 baht or more from assessable income while residing in Thailand. Simply staying longer than 180 days does not require a TIN, but if your income exceeds this threshold, then both a TIN and tax return filing are necessary.

Consider the farang prices you pay to enter national parks as taxes. You should not volunteer to pay more.
Andrew ******
you can't stay over 180 days. You leave and come back starting a new 180 cycle so no Thai Tax.

@Andrew *****
incorrect, that not how Tax residency works. Inside the Kingdom for 180 days within a calendar year and you are a tax resident, regardless of how many times you exit.

@Andrew *****
It's greater than 180 days in a calendar year. Has nothing to do with how many times you leave and return.

as far as I've read its 180 days, you leave and come back to reset. Double check.

You pay fine if you dont get the tax id

So if I pay taxes in Thailand, does that then mean, I don’t have to pay the higher entrance fee fees to tourist attractions?

no, you will never be treated as a Thai person at the places where they charge dual prices.Not even people with thai ID cards get fair treatment.
There are VERY few exceptions to this, where having a Thai ID card/drivers license enables you to pay the thai price. And that only applies if the person working in the booth wants to do it.

@Andre ********
Or just pay the higher entrance fees and consider the taxes paid 😉
Steve *******
Nope

No, but if you spend 180 days or more inside Thailand in any calendar year then you are automatically a Thai tax resident. If during that calendar year you bring 120k baht of assessable income or more into Thailand then you need both a TIN and to complete a Thai tax return

No, you have to qualify in order to obtain a TIN, just being here 180 days means you are Thai tax resident, that is all. To be required to obtain a TIN you must remit assessable income above minimum thresholds.
