I have found some information regarding taxation for foreigners in Thailand, sourced from a PDF file from the Thai Revenue Department, which I would like to share for reference.

Hi everyone,

I saw this message in a French group about a "tax" issue for DTV visas at Don Muang Airport. Does anyone know if there's an official rule about declaring 35% of funds in Thai accounts or paying this kind of "tax"? Or is this just another unclear situation in Thailand?

Thanks for any insights!

Well, it’s been a bit of a journey, but today I got my Long Term Residency permit from the Kingdom of Thailand. I still need to do annual reporting (unless I leave the country), and I will have to go in when my passport expires in a couple of years, but basically other than housekeeping, I have 10 years of not having to deal with the immigration department. Have to say, that makes all the paperwork and effort worth it 😎

Hello,

I would like to know if, with a DTV visa, I am required to pay taxes in Thailand on my income. Do I need to report anything? After all, I already pay taxes on my income in my home country.

Also, I do not have a bank account in Thailand.

Hey, someone knows what happens if I live over 180 days in Thailand in one calender year?

Hi I am an American, and was thinking of applying for the DTV. My intention is to live in Thailand long term (the full 5 years offered by the DTV) so I am also wondering about taxes. If I live more than 6 months in a place, I assume I am to pay taxes. And if this is not law in Thailand, it might be soon.

So I'd like to know what I can expect with in regards to taxes (tax rates) as a Freelancer with clients in the US. I will obviously have to file in the US as well. Wondering what the double taxation treaty between Thailand and USA is like. Where is it good to go for tax advice? Any general tips, resources, advice?

Can anyone confirm if they earn money back home (and pay tax) and in Thailand after 180 days do you magically get told by someone to file a tax return? Or you just don't?

If Thailand implements the foreign income tax for expats who live in Thailand for longer than 1/2 the year, how many of you on DTV would stay longer than the 180days?

The proposal to impose income tax on worldwide income regardless of it being remitted to Thailand on all those who are resident for 180 days or more irrespective of visa status has now reached draft proposal status this means the Thai government may well vote on this matter soon and make an announcement in the Royal Gazette. If this was to become law, "last man out, put the cat out" Since there are still 4 months till year end this could be implemented by 1st jan 2025.

Important heads up for DTV holder who are resident in Thailand for 180 days. You mut complete PND94. The Half-Year Tax Filing Deadline is Fast Approaching... Do You Need to File a PND94?

This only applies to certain types of income:

Those with Thai rental income.

Those who have been in Thailand for 180 days or more and have remitted (transferred) overseas rental property income to Thailand.

Other situations that may require filing include:

Working as an individual contractor.

Income from a liberal profession.

Running a business, commerce, agriculture, or transport.
