How does a Thai work visa impact taxation for EU passport holders living in Thailand?
Hey everyone, quick question:
How does the Thai work visa affect taxes? I’m an EU passport holder with income from foreign stocks (not working in Thailand). If I live there long-term, how is that taxed? Any tips or experiences would help! 🙏

Answer summary
The Thai work visa does not directly affect taxation for expatriates; rather, taxation depends on a person's tax residency status in Thailand. Foreign income is taxable if it is brought into Thailand after becoming a tax resident. The specifics can be influenced by the Double Taxation Agreements (DTA) between Thailand and the individual's home country. For those planning to stay in Thailand for more than 179 days, special considerations regarding tax residency apply.

Much depends on your country's DTA with Thailand. You fail to mention your country of nationality so no-one can advise

Thailand doesn't recognise "EU" passport. It depends on your nationality

Hard to believe a slum like that ever existed in Sydney.

It also depends on the other countries dual tax agreement with Thailand.

Here’s a website that has a plethora of information regarding Thai income tax. Check it out. They have a great handbook you can download. Look specifically at double taxation agreements, what constitutes a Thai tax resident, etc.
will you be in Thailand more than 179 total days in 2025. The answer to this one question will determine what happens next!

Foreign dividend income remitted to Thailand is subject to PIT at the prevailing rate in the year you become tax resident.

It doesn't. You pay tax on your earnings in Thailand as normal. If you bring overseas income into Thailand while a Thai tax resident then you pay tax on that as normal. The only visas that allow overseas income to be brought into Thailand free of tax are the LTR range of visas

Too cheap to consult a tax advisor, but will follow Facebook advice 5 5Jack ********
@John *********
totally incorrect answer. The money you bring into Thailand has to be assessable. Also you might have to file but pay no taxes if your home country has a DTA. Simply saying you have to pay tax as a tax resident is incorrect and irresponsibleJohn **********
@Jack *******
well yes it has to be assessable but dividends and interest are, he asked about income from stocks. I didn't mention DTA as he doesn't mention which country the income is from, and in any case, even if there's a DTA in place he still has to file a Thai tax return and claim a credit for any tax already paid. It's not as simple as you suggest.
