Over 200 responses to a post yesterday regarding paying tax in Thailand. Much discussed in 2024, but not so much this year. Seems to be two groups. Those that registered, and those that haven't. My question is this - has anyone heard of anyone being prosecuted for failing to register?

Good morning, I write books and I receive monthly royalties from a literary agent. I don't have a company. In your opinion, can I apply for the DTV as a freelance digital nomad?

Thank you

Hello,

After several trips earlier this year and my return to Thailand with a DTV visa, I have now spent over 6 months in the country, including 2 months with the DTV visa. I would like to know where I should register as a tax resident in Bangkok. Immigration? Online? Local Revenue Department office?

Thank you.

DTV Visa Munich approved

Visa fee: 350€

Processing time: 8 days

Applied for workcation as an IT freelancer.

Submitted documents:

- Passport

- Bank statement (1 month) showing required balance

- Picture

- Residence certificate since my national id card is expired

- Tax registration as freelancer

Before submitting i properly cancelled my ED visa and flew back to Germany and applied immediately after my return. 4 days later, consulate requested an employment contract or certificate as additional documents. However, I replied i‘m a freelancer, resubmitted tax registration and 2 purchase orders from my customers (3 month contracts). Another 4 days later i got approved without any further questions.

Thanks for all the information provided on this page and good luck everyone 👍

Hello! Not sure if this topic has been covered: I am on a retirement extension and got an online job offer from a Chinese company. What would it take to convert my visa to a "B" in order to work legally in Thailand and register for tax? Thank you, much appreciated...
