How can I obtain a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) in Thailand on a DTV visa without a work permit?
Asking for advice!
Hello everyone. I'm living in Thailand with DTV visa currently (I don't have work permit or company). I would like to apply for payout account for Meta Facebook and needing Taxpayer Identification Number(TIN). Where can I apply TIN? If you have any experiences as foreigner content creator in Thailand, kindly please guide me. Thank you in advance.
PLUS : my country,Burma doesn't even have valid tax office and policy for content creator. It's a very messy law and politics sadly.

Summary so far
A user living in Thailand on a DTV visa is seeking advice on how to obtain a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to apply for a payout account on Meta Facebook. They face challenges because their home country, Burma, lacks a valid tax office or policy for content creators. Various comments suggest that obtaining a TIN in Thailand typically requires a work permit or taxable income, which the user does not have. Alternatives mentioned include considering a company registration or changing to a Non-B visa for work permit eligibility.

Only get TIN with work permit. You need to create a company or get a work permit via another

@Danny ******
false, I have a TIN without a work permit.

To get a TIN, you need work permit, to get work permit you need job. Or use your home country tax number, which you can’t. You’re out of luck my friend

simply false.Michael ********
@Pete ******
how and why do you get a TIN without a wp?Pete *******
@Michael *******
you apply to your local Revenue Office to obtain a TIN. Why you do it is because you have received assessable income or you want to reclaim withholding tax.

Use a VPN set to your home country, not Thailand.

false, by law I am obligated.Sunshine ********
@Pete ******
Oh really? That’s interesting. I thought the Revenue Department only requires TINs if there’s assessable income or a tax obligation. Curious what kind of obligation applies in your case?Sunshine ********
@Pete ******
Ohhh now it makes sense 😄 so you did have some Thai income after all!Pete *******
@Sunshine *******

Today I tried to visit tax offices near my home in Suan Laung. They only suggested me to get work permit. Should I go to Government complex?Andi ***********
Anonymous participant i have not said it does.

Anonymous participant you can't get a work permit on the dtv. Do you not have a tax id from your home country? In your case you should only be getting a tax id for remitted income
Pete *******
@Andi **********
not accurate, tax liability does not hinge on holding a DTV.Anonymous *************
OP@Andi **********
Yes I heard about that too. Now may be the update policy.Andi ***********
Anonymous participant You have a DTV so cannot get a work permit. You are likely not liable to be paying tax in Thailand with the DTV. Other DTVERS have also been told they can not get a tax ID from the tax office.
