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!

Do all expats who stay over 180 days a year file Thailand tax return as they are considered residents and Thailand supposedly taxes worldwide income.

I saw an ad directed toward ex-pats that tracks how long you’re in a certain country and for a certain time for tax purposes, but for the life of me, I can’t remember what it’s called and I can’t find it. It’s something I want to download. Does anyone know what it would be or have a similar app or even know what I’m talking about?

If I bring my 400,000 bt. Into Thailand to put into my Thai bank account for my marriage visa will that be considered income for tax reasons?

Hi, ChatGPT says that income from remote work from Thailand for foreign clients has to be fully taxed in Thailand (no matter if remitted or not). Is it true?
