There are a lot of questions regarding what and what is not liable for tax in Thailand. I stumbled across this document from the revenue department which discusses the rule appertaining to funds where income was earned prior to 2024

Wanted to relate my timeline of getting DTV and summary. I have my own LLC that employees me. I have had the company for 2 years, always in my name and in "good standing". I submitted the certificates of organization for my LLC, certificate of filing my LLC, a "letter of employment" from my own company, screen shots of my home web page, my driver's lic front/back and current and prior two month's complete bank statements. Note that my balances were at least 30k. In my employment letter, I stated my employment is outside of Thailand, and my income operations and income sources are all foreign based. I submitted the application on 1/11 and got approval 2/2. Anyhow.. hope this may help others. I applied from the US. to the Washington DC office.

Cheers!

I’m have a question regarding my bank statements. I have been in Thailand for a couple of months and my statements show my payroll deposits while being here; as I wanted to be sure about staying here long term before deciding to get my DTV. Has anyone had this be an issue?

Can someone explain to me how I can be a resident in Thailand for tax purposes (180 days+) and classified as a tourist on my visa?

Hello. I've been traveling to Thailand for 6 weeks at a time (I work abroad, 6 on, 6 off) and have just come across the 180 day tax requirement. But I have some questions... I do not have and do not want or need a Thai bank account. I pay US taxes but will be qualified to have my income covered by the foreign income tax credit this year, so I shouldn't owe anything other than the SS / medicaid. Given these factors, do I still need to pay taxes or file anything in Thailand since I'm arguably not bringing money into a Thai account? I'm interested in applying for the DTV so it'll make my leave breaks easier but I'm not sure if I can as an independent contractor or if this would complicate tax issues..

I just want to make sure I'm doing everything legally but also don't end up paying Thai taxes if I don't even need to pay US taxes.

Tax Residency - If a foreigner holding the DTV stays in Thailand for more than 183 days within the same year, do they automatically become a tax resident and eventually have file tax returns there?

Thanks in advance for your insights!

So now, "officially" any income tax on foreign-remitted income will be waived AGAIN. They even plan to apply the new law retroactively, according to this news piece.

If I bring my 400,000 bt. Into Thailand to put into my Thai bank account for my marriage visa will that be considered income for tax reasons?

Hi, ChatGPT says that income from remote work from Thailand for foreign clients has to be fully taxed in Thailand (no matter if remitted or not). Is it true?

Thai Mortgage While Abroad?

My partner and I live in Australia and are thinking of buying property in Thailand in the near future. Loan of ~1.5 million baht over 15 years.

She’s a Thai national… can standard Thai banks offer her a mortgage based on her Australian income, or is it a more complex process with extra steps or broker involved?

Any experiences?
