Hi everyone, this message might be relevant to some of you and I could use some advice: I’m trying to open an Interactive Brokers (IBKR) account, but they’re asking for a TIN (Thai Identification Number). The thing is, I’ve just changed my tax residency and I don’t my TIN at the moment.

Has anyone managed to get around a similar situation?

Is the TIN absolutely necessary?

Thanks in advance for your help! 😁

Hello everyone, I’m currently staying in Thailand on a DTV visa.

I make my living through stock investments and have earned an average of $100,000–$200,000 annually over the past five years.

In my home country, there is no tax on capital gains from stock trading.

However, I’d like to ask:

If I stay in Thailand for more than 180 days, am I required to report my foreign stock investment income to the Thai tax authority?

Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey everyone, I have a UK passport, I work for a UK company, pay tax in UK, am registered to live and vote in the same address in UK as my bank account is registered at (one of my parent's house). Should I apply at the UK embassy? I am based variously around SE Asia. Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam usually. Is it better to apply in my home country or in the country I'm actually in? . Please just be Kreng jai and Jai yen in your answers 🙏🏻 Khob khun krap

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.

Hi, anyone knows if working online in Thailand triggers personal income tax? Anyone has any experience or knowledge about it?

I am considering a DTV, but even though I'm a digital nomad seeking a visa to live and work remotely in the country (Workcation, they call it), I might just have to apply with soft power. Why is that? Because I have no employment contract as a freelancer, my type of work isn't well represented by a portfolio of examples and as I only stay 3 months in any single country (until the DTV anyway), I have no tax residence and so they might fallback on tax returns, which I cannot provide.

Isn't this really just the most convenient way, just sending a Thai cooking class letter or perhaps for a Thai language course?

Now, one of the reasons I would prefer the former option (Workcation) is because I like the visa's clarity in terms of working legally in the country within 180 days a year, even if no one would on tourist visas anyway. I'm not sure this is granted with soft power. Thanks.

Maybe a bit off topic but I obtained a Non O retirement visa last year and 2025 will be my first full 12 months as a resident of Thailand. I’m Australian and receive superannuation and other investment income, as well as rental income from my Australian property. My Australian bank is requesting I update my taxation and citizenship details by early July as required by the Australian Taxation Office. Of course I have a tax accountant in Australia but I’m sure other Australian members of this forum have already been down this path and grateful for any comments or advice.

How and where to go in Bangkok for dtv extension after 180 days?

Thanks

just left the local revenue office.

here's what they asked

1. Any income from Thailand? No

2. Any monthly pension? No

3. Is the money coming in from savings on income before 1 January 2024? Yes

I showed them a print out of my ATM withdrawals and my WISE transfers.

No need to file or pay tax in Thailand due to transferred funds and ATM withdrawals coming from existing savings.

I have a DTV visa, valid until 2029.

After now stayed in Thailand 6 months Im going back to my home country.

I plan to return to Thailand in November, is there anything I need to do regarding my visa, or just bring it to show when I enter the border, just like I did this time?
