If you are a uk citizen and become tax resident in Thailand .If you do the right thing and register with the Thai tax officials .Will the DWP get informed so your uk pension is frozen

Only answer the question please

If you are an American with the dtv and you 1) Stay in Thailand the first 6 months , and then 2) Travel to Korea for 1 week, and then 3) Come back to Thailand for the last 6 months, do you need to file special paperwork for taxes in US? Or do you just pay US taxes as per usual ?

Now that I have the DTV do I need to do anything? Besides just leave every 6 months.

Hi - DTV and TAX

I have had a look and couldn't find anything specific on this.. Re DTV - I have a DTV now, but will generally zip back every 5 months to avoid doing the 180 day renewal and need to for medical checkups. (I do the 90 when needed..)

So, if I'm here 5 months, home two months, back 5 months.... then home to UK... so how does this tax issue work.

The premise of DTV was that we are remote working, which I do, for my UK company and another UK company... part of the reason I go back is also to go into the London office. The DTV, I thought, was all about DTV people not hitting Thai tax and being a burden on their tax office.

yet, I am a bit confused as to how I might be caught into paying any Thai tax...

How would they figure it out? We're not allowed Thai bank accounts, no QR apps, everything I pay is via my UK debit card or cash that I bring out with me. I pay the rent via direct bank transfer from UK.

any thoughts?

Good day everyone!

I recently learned that if you stay in Thailand for more than 180 days, you’re considered a tax resident and have to pay taxes there.

But I’m still a bit confused — does that mean taxes need to be paid in both countries (my home country and Thailand)? Or can I transfer all my tax obligations fully to Thailand?

Also, how is this actually tracked if I can’t open a Thai bank account yet? Like… how do they even verify that money was received in Thailand in the first place?

Would really appreciate any insights or experiences on this topic 🙏

Anyone else incredibly confused with how the Thai Tax Resident thing works? Seems like even government officials and agencies don’t know…. How to be in compliance ? 🤔

Is it true that if you're a Thai tax resident (living in Thailand more than 180 days) and you remit income throughout the year that is LESS THAN 120,000 THB, then you are NOT required to file a Thai tax return?

I have been in Thailand from Feb - June this year on a tourist visa, with a few days in Singapore in the middle.

I have returned to the UK, got my DTV visa and am planning to come back in November. Will I become a tax resident? Will I have to pay tax?

Quick Google "You are only taxed on income that you remit (bring into) Thailand. If your income remains in your home country bank account, you will not owe Thai tax on it."

Not sure.... any advice?

I don't have a Thai bank account, and i am staying in a guest house(s) and island hoping :)

I need some legal understanding, if someone would be kind enough to clarify this for me. We are having an internal family debate over the Thai government website in regarding opening a bank account.

We have the DTV visas, and IF we bring money into a thai bank account - so foreign income that WAS already had paid tax on in Australia, is apparently to be TAXED here again if you spend over 180 days in year.

I know SO many people WHO have bank accounts here that live here for a long time and do not pay tax.

My partner thinks that whatever is on the government website is in fact law and is protected from it…

Could someone please clarify. Thank you

(Putting this in multiple pages to get more reach to hopefully get the right answers). Thank you

Should I stay over 180 days in Thailand or better not?

My situation:

1. I have a DTV and I am coming close to the 180 days threshold in Thailand since January 1st.

2. I pay taxes in my home country and we do have a tax treaty with Thailand.

3. I don't want to deal with filling any forms and deal witb tax coordination.

4. I don't want to have a TIN (tax ID) I Thailand in any case.

My question:

since the tax rules for foreigners in Thailand are not clear, would it be wise to simply avoid staying in Thailand for 180 days (or more) in 2025

Or is it not an issue and I will not need to deal with tax coordination and issuing a TIN?
