Is anyone able to tell me what type of taxes you pay after retirement? I believe it has to do with the amount of income? Are you paying alot or a moderate amount?

I'm from Singapore. There is a double tax treaty with my country. I've already paid my tax in singapore in March 2025. Do I have to inform anyone that I do not have to pay tax in Thailand.

Are we liable to pay tax or file return if we live in Thailand more than 10 months with DTV Visa and a Visa run after every 160 days in one year? If so what percentage for nomads?

What are your opinions on tax for DTV visa holders? Will you guys by willing to pay the tax? I feel like this is absurd because you don't earn your money from Thailand. The tax based on my research is also not tiny. It's almost around 200,000 THB per year for someone who makes 20k - 40kUSD (Correct me if I am wrong though). This amount exceeds far more than what I am comfortable paying for the rent for the entire year.

If that is indeed the case, I will not be applying for DTV. That is outrageous. A lot of money for what? You are not even earning from Thailand, this is literally just for breathing. I don't know why I feel this way and how other people can accept this. If it's true and most people are ok with this, what am I missing out on?

I have been a Professional Top Rated Freelancer on PeoplePerHour since 2020. I have my freelancing savings of $16,000 USD. I'm eligible for DTV Visa ?? Much appreciated for your response.

Regards,

So I have the DTV approval but a bit worried about double taxation. Did they ever offer insight into how taxes would work for people who stay over 6 months?

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.
