Hi! If we decide to extend our DTV visa (the extra 180 days) and therefore become liable to paying tax, what’s the tax rate? And is the process to pay to go to immigration, or somewhere else?

Is it easy to rent a condo with DTV Visa for a few months?

For example periods of 2-3 months since I plan to stay 6 months max to avoid being a tax resident and I am thinking of splitting those 6 months during different periods of the year.

Are the prices almost as good as long term rental?

I’m looking to apply for a DTV in the next couple of months from the UK - currently in Thailand on a 60 day tourist visa .. going back end of next month .

I own a business in the UK which I can mostly run remotely (it’s an IT business with employees in the UK

Regarding the tax situation with a 180 day DTV .. I take it you can only spend up to 180 days in Thailand in any tax year (12 months)… so realistically I could not spend 180 days in Thailand , fly home for a month, then come back out for another 180 days without the Thai tax implications?

I’ve seen varying suggestions regarding the DTV but if anyone could confirm it I would greatly appreciate it

Many thanks 🙏🏻

Hi guys,

What happens if, after applying for a DTV and providing business information (process, income, location, etc.), we renew our 180-day visa without leaving Thailand? Will we be taxed on foreign income?

Specifically, will we need to pay taxes in both our home country and Thailand?

Based on my research, it seems we would be double-taxed. I'd appreciate your feedback.

Thanks!

Hi guys, I am on the way to get my LTR visa wealthy pensioner. I started in December and get a request email every third day. I send the proper answer in the same hour. We are now in the stage of proofing 80000 income. As I am early retired with 50 and now being 62, I right now have no pension fund returns. But I showed yearly passive income from dividends of 200000 euros and another 120000 Euros from an investment fund. Nevertheless they still ask questions of showing more passive income from interest or rentals. On top they asked me to show tax withholding from the dividends.

I declared now that the country from dividend origin doesnt tax dividends and as I live nowhere longer than 4 months, I have currently no tax residency, therefore tax avoidance laws are not applicable.

Someone out there to know how much longer they ask questions?

Hi all, I will go Vietnam in a few weeks for a DTV, but I am already living in Thailand (long story), the sort one is that I am married with a Thai citizen but to be 100% legal it is more convenient the DTV than the married visa (and for more reasons as well). So, my company is in the US (I am not a US citizen), and the 500K in my personal WISE account, but the address in wise is a Thai address , should be ok?/(I also has a Thai tax number, and i pay here my tax) Or is better to move the fund for example to Revolut where the address is my British home? I am quite confuse with this. Maybe the Wise account with my Thai home address can be an inconvenient more than a benefit ?

Thanks in advance .

I found the process an absolute doddle and had my DTV processed quickly. I'm not seeing much in the way of what people are doing regarding Thai tax laws, however. Are people just getting their 180 day stamp each time they enter and not worrying about it? Or are most people residing elsewhere for part of the year too?

Just intrigued to know how people are navigating this.

Good luck to all applying 🙌🏽

Hi, I'm planning to apply for the DTV in Thailand next year. My current situation is that I am self-employed with my Italian company, but I'm looking to transition to a US LLC in order to be able to live and work in Thailand legally, as it is not allowed to have both tax residency in Thailand and a VAT number in Italy at the same time.

My question is: If I create the LLC but don’t have a substantial “background” with it (since I'm creating for the purpose of relocating), is it still acceptable for the DTV application? I do have a business background in Italy with my VAT number, but I need to make this change to comply with the regulations.

I would appreciate any insights or advice on how this thing might affect my application.

Thank you in advance!

Hey everyone, is it possible to become tax resident in Thailand with the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) while staying in the country for less than 180 days per year?

Hey everyone - especially the Perpetual Travellers among you!

I keep reading that people needed to provide tax statements during the application. How do you handle this if you haven't been a tax resident anywhere during the last couple of years? Any personal experiences welcome 😊 Thanks!!!!
