Hi guys,
What happens if, after applying for a DTV and providing business information (process, income, location, etc.), we renew our 180-day visa without leaving Thailand? Will we be taxed on foreign income?
Specifically, will we need to pay taxes in both our home country and Thailand?
Based on my research, it seems we would be double-taxed. I'd appreciate your feedback.
Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The tax implications for DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) holders who renew their 180-day visa in Thailand without exiting the country revolve around the concept of tax residency. If an individual spends 180 days within Thailand in a tax year, they automatically become a tax resident. This means that only income remitted into Thailand is subject to taxation. There is a possibility of double taxation if home countries do not have a Double Tax Agreement (DTA) with Thailand, but many expats suggest consulting an international tax advisor for personalized guidance. Different agreements may allow for tax credits or exemptions, depending on the specifics of one's financial situation and the source of income.
