Is 400,000 THB brought into Thailand for a marriage visa considered taxable income?

@Peter ******

married to a Thai wife and over 60 years old, you get combined tax allowances that will reach almost 600,000 THB per calendar year. Just visit the Tax Revenue Department in your place of residence and show them the bankbook and the monthly transfers. If you are below the 600,000 THB mark, they will tell you not to worry but to go home, but you should insist on a tax declaration receipt just in case Immigration wants to see it (which is only a speculation and most probably not going to happen)

All down to being a tax resident or not in the fiscal year of 400k remittance.

Now that you have all the possible answers, and are unable to determine which is/are correct, please consult a tax or legal professional once you arrive. Maybe more than one. I’d also advise typing this question into AI - the answer you get from them may not be exactly accurate, but you will know it’s not coming from a know-it-all butthole with a fragile ego. 😉

Hardly anyone knows. A Marriage visa. If something lethal (God forbid sickness but motorbike crash) happens to your wife, you have 72 hours to leave Thailand, your children, and get an another visa from somewhere, hoewer distant.

No. Savings are not taxable

Only if you become a tax resident (physically in Thailand more than 180 days Jan-Dec) in the year of remittance.

Plse double check

I believe ur 400k Thb for marriage extension Must be transferred from ur hme county to ur own name/Thai bank.

It is the case with Retirement

Extension, 800k Thb must be transferred from overseas

To one name act only

No you won’t be taxed and if your from the US you can bring all you want as long as it has been taxed in the US

If the 400k is from savings it’s tax free.

If you are not tax resident in the year you bring in the 400k it’s tax free.

If you bring in 400k from exempted income it’s tax free.

If you are, or become a Thai tax resident, in the year you bring it in the answer is it depends on whether it is income you bring in or savings accumulated prior to you becoming a Thai tax resident

Some long winded replies and with different reasoning? Short answer is.. It's not taxable.

Thailand does not tax foreign income brought in, as long as it was earned outside Thailand and not remitted in the same tax year it was earned.

This 400,000 baht is typically personal savings or pension income, which is not taxed just for being transferred into a Thai bank account.

Depends on your country and their DTA with Thailand. Depends on the source of the money. Depends on if you've been in Thailand for more than 180 days in a calendar year. So the answer is "it depends". Giving more complete info will get a more definitive answer.

According to Thailand's official rules, you can bring up to $20,000 USD or the currency equivalent into the country before you have to declare it to customs. If you're bringing Thai baht (THB) into the country rather than a foreign currency, the most you can carry with you is 500,000 THB.

The Thai banking system is the wild Wild West where no one really says anything about where your money comes from

Good Luck
