TLDR : Answer Summary

The 90-day report for expats in Thailand resets each time you leave the country, even for a single day. When you re-enter, the counting starts from the day of entry, which is considered day one for the next reporting period. This means that if an expat exits Thailand and returns within the 90-day timeframe, they will not need to complete the reporting requirement until 90 days have passed from their latest entry. Additionally, despite the 90-day reporting, expats are still expected to continue their tax and social security contributions in their home countries, as noted in discussions regarding the double taxation agreement.

Last week, I spoke with my lawyer from in Bangkok. I was informed there that a 90-day report is not necessary.

I was also told that I must continue paying taxes and social security contributions in my home country. The taxes paid would be credited to me in Thailand due to the double taxation agreement between Germany and Thailand. I am a full-time employee in Germany with a German company and will be working remotely from Thailand starting in December.

Is that possible?

this is the second time I've seen your post. Please stop spreading misinformation. The DTV is not exempt from 90 day reporting. This is a frequently asked question and i dont see the answer changing anytime soon.

suggest you get a NEW lawyer as the one you have is wrong if you have a DTV visa.

Matthias ********

DTV, yes sure!

James ********

with the DTV visa, if you are in Thailand for 90 days or more a 90 day report must be filed with Thai Immigration.

That was also my understanding. For “safety,” I wanted to ask a relevant lawyer. That was a complete misfire!

what visa are you on? There is only 1 visa LTR, where 90 day reports aren't required, if you stay in Thailand 90 consecutive days you report, that's the law. Teach it to your tax lawyer. If not then you are subject to a 2000 baht fine

well, I think this is the Destination Thailand Visa-Group. So, I don’t understand the question about the type of visa. It’s a tax and visa lawyer. I think I should change the office

An entry stamp is the same as a 90-day check-in. So the next one is needed 90 days after you last entered Thailand.

Resets every time you leave and re-enter. When I was working in Bangkok I travelled frequently for business - never had to do 90 days for 3 years before Covid.

You only register if you stay in Thailand for 90 days.

It reset once you leave, even for 1 day.

But if you own your own apartment and have lived there for 10 years, you still need to register every 90 days.
