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?

Hi guys,

What happens if, after applying for a DTV and providing business information (process, income, location, etc.), we renew our 180-day visa without leaving Thailand? Will we be taxed on foreign income?

Specifically, will we need to pay taxes in both our home country and Thailand?

Based on my research, it seems we would be double-taxed. I'd appreciate your feedback.

Thanks!

It's time to do a new visa.

I am considering the LTR or the retirement visa.

The appeal of the LTR, from what I understand, no taxes?

The visa is a little pricey but over ten years, the per year price is very reasonable especially if you consider it gets me out of doing any tax nonsense.

The appeal of the retirement visa is that it's cheap and there are a lot of "help" available.

Does anybody know the LTR is immune to taxation?

Any other opinions?

DTV is great but I fail to see how its better than the retirenment visa.

Hey,

I know similar things have been asked before and I know this group is about DTV (I have a DTV) and not tax. However, maybe someone can guide me in the right direction.

I have stayed 177 days in Thailand this year, meaning, if I wanted to, I could come over for a week and become a tax resident.

Now, I am not trying to avoid paying taxes in Thailand, I actually want to pay taxes in Thailand. I am not a tax resident in my homecountry anymore. So I would like to pay my total taxes in Thailand.

Does anyone have experience with paying taxes in Thailand as a digital nomad without another tax residency other than Thailand.

Can you point me in the right direction?

I have allready asked a Thai tax consultant, he didn´t seem to know or understand.

For the haters: I have always paid my taxes where I had to, I am not trying to avoid, I am trying to do right, understand and optimise.

Hi All ,

Are there anybody who knows about this ?

According to the law, anyone who stays in Thailand for over 180 days out of a calendar year will be considered a tax resident by the Thai government. You will be liable to pay Thai taxes on your foreign income if you are a tax resident, even if you hold a Destination Thailand Visa.

So, has anybody yet actually stayed over 180 days as a tourist, and filed a tax return?

Does anyone know how Thailand looks at our investment funds, as far as taxes?

Is this still the case:

As a US citizen, do retirees pay taxes in Thailand?

Income earned inside Thailand during retirement is the only income subject to tax, while personal income from pension, interest, or other income sources in your home country is not subject to income tax in Thailand. This creates a 100% tax-free retirement in Thailand.

Im over 55 and looking to retire in Jomtiem. My only income will be my savings in Australia and not enough to be taxed in OZ.

My question is will savings be considered earnings and then be taxed in Thailand?

Retirees in Thailand,

Did you become a tax resident in Thailand?

I heard that if you stay in Thailand more than

180 days, then you become a tax resident?

is that true?
