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?

Interesting and I'm sure many DTV holders will want to read this.

This is maybe a stretch, but I wonder if this is an option. Maybe the group can advise?

I’m a professional musician, performing several international tours per year (never in Thailand). This is my sole income, and my tax is paid in the UK (British citizen).

The time between tours is creative time.

This is time that I would like to spend in Thailand, and thus travel to work occasionally for a tour.

Could I be regarded as a ‘remote worker’, given that the time in Thailand is spent creatively, though the resulting income is made overseas?

Basically, I was wondering, if these professional criteria fulfill the requirements in obtaining a DTV in that regard.

It doesn’t seem entirely obvious to me.

Apologies for making an anonymous post btw.

I know it’s annoying to some, but hey-ho

Thanks 🙏🏻

The Double Taxation Topic - UK National

My business is registered in the UK, with my salary and taxes both paid in the UK.

I will remain more than 180 days per year in Thailand under DTV Visa.

Will I need to pay double Tax in both UK and Thailand?

Looking for simple straight forward answer, if it possible.

I have searched the group posts, but have not yet seen a clear answer to this question.
