Hi everyone,

For those who are working on the DTV, has anyone managed to receive a tax residency certificate? I’m Australian with non-Australian remote income.

Currently I live in Georgia 🇬🇪 and am paying a very favourable tax rate here and am wondering if it’s possible to do something similar in Thailand legally as I do in Georgia. Having a certificate is a key part in creating a paper trail that would assist me passing an audit.

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it!

A comment outlines the requirements for acquiring a Thai tax residency certificate, including the necessity of filing income tax returns and being a resident for over 180 days. Another comment mentions challenges if the user isn't remitting significant income to Thailand.

To get a Thai tax residency certificate from your local Revenue Office you need the following:

1. A copy of the filed income tax returns e.g. P.N.D. 90, P.N.D. 91.

2. A copy of tax receipt.

3. A copy of taxpayer's tax identification card.

4. A copy of taxpayer's passport (in order to total number of days the taxpayer resides in Thailand. In order to issue the certificate, the taxpayer must resides in Thailand more than 180 days).

It'll be difficult unless you're remitting a lot of money into Thailand on which zero tax has been paid
