I’m 45 from the UK and will be taking early retirement next month and moving from the UK to Thailand permanently. I’ll still be receiving dividends from my UK company and using my UK bank card while living there (more than 180 days per year). Can anyone advise how I should handle my tax situation? I understand that funds remitted into Thailand in the same year is subject to Thai tax?

In 2015 I bought a house (main residence) in the UK for £525K with an interest only mortgage and a £200K deposit. The property is now valued at around £600K. So, if I use the original £200K deposit to buy something in Bangkok, presumably it’s tax except?

Hey everyone, quick question:

How does the Thai work visa affect taxes? I’m an EU passport holder with income from foreign stocks (not working in Thailand). If I live there long-term, how is that taxed? Any tips or experiences would help! 🙏

I understand social security from USA is not taxed? Moving over on a 1 year non o I would need to deposits 800k or show 65k monthly income? Would they tax the 800k$. I can show 65k monthly from Social Security easily. Would that have to be deposited in a Thai bank account?

Thanks

I'm confused. Just read this new article just posted today on taxes. So it says we're not taxed on income sourced outside of Thailand. But later it talks about Residency rule and that we ARE taxed. So I'm confused, are we taxed or not taxed? It appears rules on foreigners earning outside Thailand those rules haven't changed. Can anyone clarify?

Hi, I have a tax related question.

If I work in Thailand as a remote worker with a visa for foreign clients, does that count as foreign sourced income? Or is it Thai based income since I myself work in Thailand?

Thank you in advance.

Hi All.

Unfortunately, my tax bill for 2024 was huge. I have applied for and was approved for my LTRV in the hope that I won't have to pay taxes next year. If I'm here on a non 'O' and get my LTRV within 180 days will I still be eligible for taxes for 2025. LTRV also asked me to cancel my non 'O' in order to have LTRV stamped in my passport but immigration in Surin refused saying you can only change your visa on expiry of old one. Which isn't until 25th June. At a bit of a loss. Can bkk immigration cancel my non 'O' before they stamp my LTRV. and please no wise cracks about avoiding taxes or my income please.

Hello 🙂 I would like to know if it is possible to have a Tax Identification Number (TIN) and pay tax when you have a visa DTV soft power.

Thank you in advance

Hello!

After the DTV is approved, I want to transfer my income from my home country to a local bank in Thailand to use for my living expenses.

However, in this case, if I live in Thailand for more than 180 days, will I have to pay extra taxes to Thailand on the transferred amount?

I am from a country that has a DTA(double taxation agreement) with Thailand.

Do freelancers have to pay tax if they stay with DTV visa ? I will leave before 180 days to visa extend. I am worried that I will be asked again if I return after 2 weeks after leaving the country. If you know the rates to pay, please let me know 🙏

If I come back with DTV for the second time, do I have to show the show money 500,000 baht again? How much should I show 🙏 I don't have a Thai bank account because it's difficult to open a Thai bank with DTV.

My wife and I are thinking of getting O visa based on retirment. I know we have to bring in 800000bt each. Does anyone know if we will be taxed on this
