Hi can anyone recommend me a good tax attorney here? I am on a dtv visa and work as a full time content creator and I need to know if I need to file taxes here and how to do that.

How can you recieve the 65,000 per month income option for retirement visa?

How will you be able to get confirmation that immigration will accept?

For those on the DTV wanting a tax ID, I went into the office in my district today with google translate in hand (no one speaks English in any revenue office) they were extremely nice I had my Tax ID in 5 minutes. I had filled out the form in advance and used google to translate it, and my girlfriend was on standby to talk to one of the reps in case things didn't go well. They couldn't have gone better. I already had "need tax ID don't speak Thai" translated on my phone when I walked in. The guard and rep who got my ID was very interested in English, how I used Google Translate and the United States.

Yesterday afternoon, I managed to open an account at SCB in the Airport Plaza in Chiang Mai.

It took three attempts, but in the end, it worked out.

First attempt: I asked what was required to open an account. They told me: passport, visa, certificate of residence, and a work permit.

When I pointed out that I didn’t have a work permit, they informed me that an account could be opened with the DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) for remote work and a translated employment contract for remote workers.

So, I got that done.

Second attempt: Of course, the information I received the first time wasn’t complete. On the second attempt, they told me I also needed a Thai tax ID.

So before my third attempt, I applied for one at the Revenue Department, explaining that I was on a DTV and intended to stay in Thailand for more than 183 days. They issued the tax ID for me.

Third attempt: With my certificate of residence, translated employment contract (which explicitly stated that I work remotely for my employer from Thailand and will stay for more than 183 days), visa, and tax ID, everything went smoothly and quickly.

Oh, and they didn’t try to sell me any unnecessary insurance!

where to get tax id? How to pay taxes for residency?

So I’m about to stay 6 months in Thailand, previously was here for 3 on tourist visa. What is everybody’s thoughts regarding becoming a tax resident after 180 days? It’s this huge issue that’s lingering over my head and it’s stopping me from enjoying myself because I’m paranoid about future tax complications.

So far there’s no clear answers or guidelines for anything, which makes it even more confusing. Has anyone gone to the tax office or tried to register for tax ID? How is everyone going to deal with this?

If anyone has any insight or experience with trying to work this out with officials would be interested in hearing your thoughts

I would like to get tax id TIN. I am on a DTV. I live in Koh Phangan. Any agents? Kaaa 🙏🙏

Self employed and applying in Ho Chi Minh

I have bank statements, client contracts, paid invoices, etc.

Do i need to submit my business registration and/or tax ID?

And is there any other documentation that can give me an advantage for quick approval?

If both are needed, i can submit, but i need to make sure I have every single doc to make this smooth as possible as most of my life is currently in Thailand since I've been living here a few months hahah

Thailand Taxes.

It is my understanding that anyone who stays in Thailand a total 180 day (could be multiple times) during the tax year and brings money to Thailand or puts money into at Thai Bank must get a tax ID and file at Thailand tax return.

If your country has a double tax agreement with Thailand you can get a tax exemption.

Does anyone have any idea how the tax exemption will work and what documents you will need to provide?

Will Thailand charge you a tax if they don't think you paid enough tax on the money you brought into Thailand?

Some money in the US are tax exempt so how will the Thai government decide whether the money I brought into Thailand was taxed or not?

We call the Thailand Revenue Department and we're not able to get any answers.

I'm not willing to provide Thailand all my financial information. At transcript of my US tax return is all I would be willing to provide.
