In need of educated opinions and advice

I plan to get the dtv visa via workation. My concern is that I’ve been in Thailand on visa exemption since March 2025 until now and have done 3 border runs in 2025 to renew my visa exemptions. Will this lower my chances of approval? I stayed all of 2024 on a 1 year ed visa. I’m a USA national

For those with a 100% VA rating living long term in Thailand, do you tax that income in the US or Thailand or neither? How strict are they about this?

Anyone here who is freelancer on DTV and stayed over 6 months and decided to become tax resident here? Or are the majority of you leaving every 180 days?

I’m from one of highest taxed country in EU with close to 50% tax. For me it’s a big win to become tax resident here asap.

I’m 45 from the UK and will be taking early retirement next month and moving from the UK to Thailand permanently. I’ll still be receiving dividends from my UK company and using my UK bank card while living there (more than 180 days per year). Can anyone advise how I should handle my tax situation? I understand that funds remitted into Thailand in the same year is subject to Thai tax?

In 2015 I bought a house (main residence) in the UK for £525K with an interest only mortgage and a £200K deposit. The property is now valued at around £600K. So, if I use the original £200K deposit to buy something in Bangkok, presumably it’s tax except?

Hey everyone, quick question:

How does the Thai work visa affect taxes? I’m an EU passport holder with income from foreign stocks (not working in Thailand). If I live there long-term, how is that taxed? Any tips or experiences would help! 🙏

I understand social security from USA is not taxed? Moving over on a 1 year non o I would need to deposits 800k or show 65k monthly income? Would they tax the 800k$. I can show 65k monthly from Social Security easily. Would that have to be deposited in a Thai bank account?

Thanks

I'm confused. Just read this new article just posted today on taxes. So it says we're not taxed on income sourced outside of Thailand. But later it talks about Residency rule and that we ARE taxed. So I'm confused, are we taxed or not taxed? It appears rules on foreigners earning outside Thailand those rules haven't changed. Can anyone clarify?

Hi, I have a tax related question.

If I work in Thailand as a remote worker with a visa for foreign clients, does that count as foreign sourced income? Or is it Thai based income since I myself work in Thailand?

Thank you in advance.

Hi All.

Unfortunately, my tax bill for 2024 was huge. I have applied for and was approved for my LTRV in the hope that I won't have to pay taxes next year. If I'm here on a non 'O' and get my LTRV within 180 days will I still be eligible for taxes for 2025. LTRV also asked me to cancel my non 'O' in order to have LTRV stamped in my passport but immigration in Surin refused saying you can only change your visa on expiry of old one. Which isn't until 25th June. At a bit of a loss. Can bkk immigration cancel my non 'O' before they stamp my LTRV. and please no wise cracks about avoiding taxes or my income please.

Hello 🙂 I would like to know if it is possible to have a Tax Identification Number (TIN) and pay tax when you have a visa DTV soft power.

Thank you in advance
