With a retirement visa what are the tax implications for sending money to your thai bank account?

And is there a time factor involved that influences tax.

Also....is there a minimum amount of time i have to be in Thailand while I have a retirement visa?

Looking for more information on the DTV visa. From my understanding my US employer does not need to register or change taxes at all with me working in Thailand (up to 180 days in calendar year). My understanding under the DTV Is that the companyny does not need to comply to anything due to the stay being under 180 days. Am I missing something?

Right now the only hiccup for the company i work for to allow me to work in Thailand is they believe they will have tax implications.

If I can prove there is no tax liability on the company, they may agree to it. I’m highly favored there and I believe they will bend if it’s between allowing me to work in Thailand or me quitting.

Any advice? Legal documents/references I can show?

I'd like to build a house. For REASONS I am interested in sending the money from USA to my wife here. How did that work? With large transfers does it get declared or flagged or? Is it taxed? What sort of rates? We know very little about taxes in Thailand- nobody in my wife's network has anyone ever had enough money to need to pay taxes.

Is it legal to open a bank account while on DTV Visa.? If my remote employer pays in that bank account after withholding taxes (which I am ok with) would that be a problem?

Does Thailand’s new Tax Residency confusion for foreigners impact your interest to stay long term in Thailand?

Am I missing something here . Thailand requires me to deposit 800,000 baht into a Thai bank account to get my retirement visa. After 180 days they can then tax my 800,000.

UK national married to Thai.

wishing for some advice on which way to go initially …Tourist visa, Retirement or Marriage visa? I/we intend to reside in Thailand for just short of 6 months with a view to becoming more permanent later. Of course I would rather spend less time dealing with acquisition of visas as I come and go (staying longer later) mindful too of tax status.

What are my best most sensible options to consider if I have provided you enough info.

P.s seasoning of any funds is no issue as I have an existing primed bank account

Not sure if this is the right page, but i wanted to ask if there is anyone on here who owns a condo here on koh Samui. We are looking to possibly buy one at the Bay Condominiums near Bangrak, and have a few questions regarding how much we can expect to rent it out at and taxes both here and in Australia that are not being answered well enough by the realestate companies.

If anyone can help that would be great.

Hello! I haven't seen this question posted anywhere else—

My husband and I are both US citizens and work for companies in the US. I recently received my DTV, and he is looking to apply as my *dependent* (rather than get his own visa — he's allowed to work remotely from Thailand, but his contract doesn't say it).

Please don't respond with comments about how he should get an updated contract that states it; we know :)

Given that we'll be in Thailand for more than 180 days (tax residents), does anyone know what the tax implications/requirements are for him, since he'd be working? Are dependents allowed to work and file taxes in Thailand, or is the dependent visa only for spouses who AREN'T earning an income?

Thank you!

Hello everyone, so if I’m renting my villa out in Thailand on Airbnb short term rentals, of course this is no problem while on a dtv right ? As long as I’m not working in the home cleaning, welcoming guests into the property ect?
