What is the correct process to obtain a Thai tax residency certificate for transferring inherited money?

Am I following the correct process to obtain a Thai tax residency certificate?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been living in Phra Padaeng, Samut Prakan with my wife for several years now. I’m 49 years old and a tax resident in Thailand (I live here more than 180 days per year). I’m not a tax resident in Spain.

My mother left an inheritance to my siblings and me. We are three brothers: two of us live in Thailand, and one lives in Spain. The two of us in Thailand granted full power of attorney to our brother in Spain (via the Spanish embassy in Thailand), so he can handle the property sale on our behalf.

I know that I should not transfer the money in the same year the property is sold, to avoid any issues with income tax.

Now that part of the inheritance is being sold, I want to transfer my share of the money to my Thai bank account and confirm that I am a tax resident in Thailand. I understand I need to apply for a tax residency certificate from the Thai Revenue Department.

These are the documents I believe I need:

1. Passport with a valid visa and entry/exit stamps showing more than 180 days in Thailand.

2. TM30 (address notification), already stamped in my passport.

3. I don’t have a Thai Tax ID (TIN), as I’ve never filed taxes in Thailand.

4. Application form for the tax residency certificate (to be obtained at the Revenue office).

5. A simple statement explaining that the certificate is for personal purposes and not related to filing income in Thailand.

Could anyone who has gone through this process confirm if I’m doing everything correctly? Am I missing anything or should I be aware of something else?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards
