I found the process an absolute doddle and had my DTV processed quickly. I'm not seeing much in the way of what people are doing regarding Thai tax laws, however. Are people just getting their 180 day stamp each time they enter and not worrying about it? Or are most people residing elsewhere for part of the year too?

Just intrigued to know how people are navigating this.

Good luck to all applying 🙌🏽

So what happens if you stay past 6 months ? Am I forced to pay taxes in thailand?

Situation:

Visa: DTV1 Workcation (remote worker)

Home country Germany with double taxation agreement

Centre of life Thailand (significantly more than 180 days per year)

According to the double taxation agreement, Thailand is entitled to income tax. However, in practice, the employer in my home country pays income tax as if I were staying in my home country, right? If I file my tax return in Thailand, I only pay the tax difference, right?

What about social security contributions? In my opinion, there is no longer an obligation to pay social security contributions (statement valid for Germany), so no such contributions are paid. At the same time, of course, I take out health insurance and pension policies myself on a private basis.

Everything correct or any objections?

The options for DTV being admitting you are technically working in Thailand or just doing a soft power option like Muay Thai.

Based on the apparent new tax laws that were announced last year you would then be liable for tax and have just given them proof of your employment contract for example. But as far as I know these have yet to be enforced.

Is nobody concerned that they will come asking one day and expect to be paid large amounts of tax?

The way I see it the risk of doing a soft power option is they may require new contracts and such to re-enter at some point. But if you do the digital nomad route they may start asking for tax.

If I get a visa in Thailand and stay for a year, do I lose my tax residency in Australia?

Hello,

I am going on DTV Visa and will stay over 180 days

New 2024 law says foreign incomes are now under tax in Thailand.

I'm from France, as my income is from there and already taxed, can it still be taxed in Thailand?

Apparently it's the income brought into Thailand that's taxed, and then ATM withdrawals and card payments from foreign cards are taxed also from what I read. What could I do? Need help please!
