I'm trying to fill PND 94 form, as an individual contractor/freelancer on DTV. But they are asking for assessable income (which probably is 0thb for all dtv visa holders, according to this group - our income is not Thai sourced). Where should I type remitted money into Thailand? Where should I type the tax already paid in my home country?

If I work for my foreign company (let's say Estonian) from Thailand while on DTV visa (staying more than 180 days every year), but not remit the funds to Thailand bank account, is that income considered Thailand sourced? Do I need to pay any taxes?

Sorry if it’s asked a lot but re: freelancers on a DTV visa staying more than 6 months per year ..how hard is it to get a tax ID to start paying tax in Thailand? I’ve heard banks are reluctant to give them to folk on DTV

Hello, I’m considering getting the Muay Thai dtv

I have the funds in my account

Is it true that they’re gonna ask for my tax even though the Visa is a Muay Thai visa?

And will I be taxed?

I’m a Canadian in Thailand (5+ yrs on Non-B, paying taxes) running an AI consulting biz (HK LLC, US clients). My visa expires end-Aug 2025, so I’m applying for DTV (freelance or business owner?) to bridge to LTR for PR later. Which DTV category is best for PR transition? Planning to apply in Cambodia/Vietnam. Advice appreciated!

So now, "officially" any income tax on foreign-remitted income will be waived AGAIN. They even plan to apply the new law retroactively, according to this news piece.

Hi everyone,

First of all, thanks to the group for all the helpful answers you share. I still have two questions — I just got my DTV visa and I plan to spend more than 180 days per year in Thailand to become a tax resident there. My questions are:

If I don’t have a Thai bank account, what exactly is considered “remitted income” to Thailand? Only the money I spend locally? (I’m trying to understand the basis on which I could be taxed.)

Also, the visa limits me to 180 consecutive days in Thailand. If I understand correctly, is a simple border run enough to reset and get another 180 days?

Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone,

I just got my DTV and I’m planning to move to Bangkok this September. I had two quick questions as I’m considering staying in Thailand for several years:

1. Is it possible to open a Thai bank account with the DTV? Any advice or recommended banks?

2. Is it true that you can become a Thai tax resident after staying more than 180 days in a calendar year? How does it work exactly in practice?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Well tickle my arse with a feather (old English saying), so what's the panic about the Thai taxman hitting Farang remitances?

Hello everyone.

* I have recently gotten a DTV in Jakarta and am back in Thailand.

* I am a Japanese national & a framework to prevent double taxation is in place between Japan and Thailand.

* As I am planning to live and work here more than 180days per calendar year (most probably around 300 days per calendar year) , I believe I will be subject to personal income taxes in Thailand.

* I have previously worked under a working visa in Thailand, therfore, I have a tax ID in Thailand and Thai bank account.

Q: Has anyone here been in a similar situation—staying in Thailand for more than 180 days while working remotely for a company under a DTV visa—and had experience paying taxes in Thailand?

I'd appreciate any insights or experiences you could share!
