This post discusses the experiences and advice regarding the application process for a Tax Identification Number (TIN) for individuals on a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Thailand. It explores the implications of extending one's stay beyond 180 days and becoming a tax resident, as well as the challenges faced by those without a Thai bank account in relation to tax payments. The discussion highlights differing opinions on whether it is necessary to apply for a TIN and submit a tax return, referencing Thailand’s double taxation agreements.

Let’s see your on a DTV so you can’t open a bank account so where will your funds be deposited so that you can try and pay Thai tax ??

Greg ******** · Answer

1) You are tax resident if you are in Thailand 180+ in a calendar year 2) if not working in Thailand etc then the assessable income is what you remit into Thailand. 3) There are over 60 Double Taxation Agreements that can possibly used to offset tax against the money a DTV person has remitted.

Now the question is 1) do you need a TIN 2) Do you need to submit a tax return.

If we take the example of the 100k O Visa holders who are here 180+ a year.. The overwhelming majority do NOT have a TIN and do not submit tax retirns

I’m applying soon & would like this clarification too. I see people saying don’t bother you don’t need to as you won’t get caught, then on another post when someone is suggesting not to do something they get rammed with comments saying don’t be here if don’t want to follow the rules, but nobody says that about the tax situation…

And I don’t agree with breaking Visa rules before somebody gets the wrong idea 😁
