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?

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
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?
