Hi

Ref : *“Subject to Thai tax should you stay longer than 180 days”*

Need some help/advice please

Currently living in the UK and looking at a DTV visa. I understand criteria and that this is technically a 5yr visa where you need to leave every 180 days and your income must not be derived from Thailand, I would also been deemed a Thai resident for tax purposes. I’m fine with all these points

What I don’t understand is, when I stay over 180 days I become subject to ‘Thai Tax’.

I fully understand UK tax (income tax) but can anyone please clarify what specific Thai tax’s I would become subject to??

My intention is to run a UK bank account & Uk Credit Card, i.e. Revoult & Starling & Amex for withdrawals, rental/condo/restaurant/bill payments etc. I will NOT remit/transfer any money to a Thai Bank. I guess I will have some bills in my name. I assume this arrangement is how most digital nomads operate

Would using apps such as TAGTHAi be deemed as remitting money to Thailand?

(Ironically i've heard the thai banks are closing all accounts down for non-residents without a long term visa, hence i couldn’t even get a thai bank account even if i tried).

i read i would need to file a tax return TIN every 6 months (which I understand I pay for) but would my actual tax liability be; ฿0 thb based on the info I’ve provided?

Thanks in advance for the advice

Have any of you found an agency to get a TIN with?

Looking for good recommendations on an agency and how long it took roughly for you to setup?

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?

Hey social media influencers on DTV:

Director-General Pinsai Suraswadi of the Thai Revenue Department has made it clear:

🔹 Social media influencers and online business owners must file income tax documents by the end of this month.

🔹 Failure to report income can result in severe penalties—including back taxes, interest, and fines that can increase your liability by up to 5x!

🔹 The Thai government is tracking digital footprints, making it easier than ever to detect unreported earnings.

🔹 The Revenue Department has the power to audit records going back 5 years—and the penalties include both civil and criminal consequences.

Anyone get the information required for filing income as a workcation DTV

The deadline to report is March 31. I was told that previously it was only if in country 6 months but now I read that any online business or creator or influencers need to report income. Never stated 6 month

Has anyone inquired at the revenue department?

I have found some information regarding taxation for foreigners in Thailand, sourced from a PDF file from the Thai Revenue Department, which I would like to share for reference.

I have not received my VAT refund by credit card yet. Anybody know how to make a complaint?

I flew out on April 8th and got the PP10 form stamped by the customs booth in the entrance lobby of BKK airport.

As my flight was getting late i mailed the form in at a later date to Revenue Thailand. It has been several weeks now. Expecting 5-6000 baht. Sent a complain on a web form on thailand revenue department website but no response received there either.
