hello I have a DTV visa so no bank account for me ,if I stay more than 180 days in Thailand (of course I leave Thailand every 6 months )so if I stay more than 6 months in Thailand per year, I only make withdrawals by bank card or chage with cash, I will pay taxes without bank account in Thailand, can you inform me?

-------------

Bonjour j'ai un visa DTV donc pas de compte bancaire pour moi ,si je reste plus de 180 jours en Thaïlande (bien sûr je sors de la Thaïlande tout les 6 mois )donc si je reste plus de 6 mois en Thaïlande par année, je ne fait que des retraits par carte bancaire ou du chage avec du cash, je vais payé des impôts sans compte bancaire en Thaïlande, pouvez-vous me renseigner ?

Does Thailand’s new Tax Residency confusion for foreigners impact your interest to stay long term in Thailand?

Please correct me if im wrong but 180 days tax resident is from Jan 1 to Dec 31 right?

Let's say on my 1st entry I stayed 149 days in 2025 and and left before Dec then I re-entry on Dec 1st and stayed until Dec 31 which technically be 180 days. I continue to stay until 2026, and leave February 1. Technically speaking, I shouldn't be a tax resident right?

I am on the DTV visa and starting to think about whether I should stay in Thailand for more than 6 months in 2025.

I understand that if I do, next year I will have to take steps to be taxed here for 2025. Which is somewhat paradoxical. What exactly will they tax? My income, which comes from work outside Thailand, is paid outside Thailand, into an account outside Thailand, by clients outside Thailand?

Will my assets outside Thailand also be looked at?

And what should I expect this move to cost me in the end?

Does anyone have any personal experience?

So I’m about to stay 6 months in Thailand, previously was here for 3 on tourist visa. What is everybody’s thoughts regarding becoming a tax resident after 180 days? It’s this huge issue that’s lingering over my head and it’s stopping me from enjoying myself because I’m paranoid about future tax complications.

So far there’s no clear answers or guidelines for anything, which makes it even more confusing. Has anyone gone to the tax office or tried to register for tax ID? How is everyone going to deal with this?

If anyone has any insight or experience with trying to work this out with officials would be interested in hearing your thoughts

Hey everyone, does anyone in Bangkok have contacts for the DTV visa? I’m specifically looking at the Muay Thai option since there’s no clear info on the tax situation for digital nomads.

From what I understand, once you stay in Thailand for over 6 months, you become a tax resident, meaning any income earned while in TH is taxable. I haven’t seen any official clarification stating otherwise. Has anyone here been asked to pay taxes or provide extra documents while on the DTV?

Would love to hear real experiences—thanks!

Hi guys, staying in Thailand from July 3 - 2024 to January 27 - 2025, with two exits of 10 and 2 days in 2024, isn’t considered a tax resident in Thailand, right? Because in 2024 doesn’t exceed 180 days, and neither in 2025.

Thanks
