Good day everyone!

I recently learned that if you stay in Thailand for more than 180 days, you’re considered a tax resident and have to pay taxes there.

But I’m still a bit confused — does that mean taxes need to be paid in both countries (my home country and Thailand)? Or can I transfer all my tax obligations fully to Thailand?

Also, how is this actually tracked if I can’t open a Thai bank account yet? Like… how do they even verify that money was received in Thailand in the first place?

Would really appreciate any insights or experiences on this topic 🙏

hello I have a DTV visa so no bank account for me ,if I stay more than 180 days in Thailand (of course I leave Thailand every 6 months )so if I stay more than 6 months in Thailand per year, I only make withdrawals by bank card or chage with cash, I will pay taxes without bank account in Thailand, can you inform me?

-------------

Bonjour j'ai un visa DTV donc pas de compte bancaire pour moi ,si je reste plus de 180 jours en Thaïlande (bien sûr je sors de la Thaïlande tout les 6 mois )donc si je reste plus de 6 mois en Thaïlande par année, je ne fait que des retraits par carte bancaire ou du chage avec du cash, je vais payé des impôts sans compte bancaire en Thaïlande, pouvez-vous me renseigner ?

Sorry if it’s asked a lot but re: freelancers on a DTV visa staying more than 6 months per year ..how hard is it to get a tax ID to start paying tax in Thailand? I’ve heard banks are reluctant to give them to folk on DTV

Do all expats who stay over 180 days a year file Thailand tax return as they are considered residents and Thailand supposedly taxes worldwide income.

Over 200 responses to a post yesterday regarding paying tax in Thailand. Much discussed in 2024, but not so much this year. Seems to be two groups. Those that registered, and those that haven't. My question is this - has anyone heard of anyone being prosecuted for failing to register?

Hello anyone who successfully paid tax that you transferred to your local thai bank account?

Was its easy? Just like show all remittances from your bank account and paid the tax?

If I stay for 90 days in Thailand, then fly out to Malaysia for a week, then I repeat the above process 1 more time in a year ,

, and I do this every year, do I still need to pay tax to Thailand ?
