Do I need to report my foreign stock investment income to Thai tax authorities if I stay in Thailand for over 180 days on a DTV visa?

@Wannikea ********

You’re literally talking about “evading tax liability.” You’re contradicting yourself.

@Wannikea ********

nonsense, remitted is in the terminology of the Revenue Department “brought in to” Thailand, electronically or physically.

@Nick ******

tell me the tax advantages of holding an Elite visa…..

@Pete ******

why? I don't think there are any, that's my understanding anyway. But it doesn't make the whole visa obsolete - maybe for you but not for people who want the benefits.

@Nick ******

there are no tax benefits from holding an Elite visa. Compare the DTV v Elite and you will see no one in their right mind would spend minimum 650k on a visa where a 10k visa gives similar advantages. Thus my statement that the DTV makes the Elite obsolete holds, there is no advantage.to an Elite over the DTV that is in anyway significant.

@Pete ******

you can get a bank account with elite, you don't have to leave at all for five years, plus vip at the airport if you do, I'd say it has some advantages over the dtv.

@Chris ********

and for those “benefits” you are willing to pay an additional 640k? Hence my comment the DTV makes the Elite program obsolete.

@Pete ******

Well yeah cause most people spend 75k to leave and do it some don't sure but people pay more than that too and have to leave every 6 months? Like what do you think the true cost compared to someone who doesn't want the hassle to leave

@Chris ********

you can just extend the dtv. then you only have to do a border run once a year which is just a few thausand baht. so not sure what you are talking about 😅

@Dany *******

that's what everyone does yeah? You're kidding yourself

@Chris ********

that is what i do… and if you dont extend inside thailand then you just do 2 border runs per year. how much does a border run cost? 1-4k baht depending on location?!

@Dany *******

that's what u do, not everyone is you, not everyone wants to sit in a minibus all day to do a border run, and for many people, doing so would cost them much more in lost productivity, I make $400 an hour how much u think that border run would cost me vs flying to hcmc? Penny pinching and wasting time might work for you and u might not see the benefit of an elite, just like you probably wouldn't take a pj to phuket when someone else values thier time more. Elite isn't obsolete it's, for a specific kind of person and situation. It definitely has advantages over the DTV

@Chris ********

People spend 75k to leave? Who leaves every month on a DTV? Your argument is utter nonsense. As stated the DTV has made the Elite program a dead duck. Anyone on the Elite must be kicking themselves for their stupidity.

@Alex ********

do you have any reference to this supposed tax free zone for money from brought from abroad?

@Alex ********

source please of the tax advantages of an Elite visa….
