they counted how long I’ve been here based on my passport stamp but she did say I’ll file tax for 2025. Not 2024 since I don’t have and can’t show any thai bank statement for 2024 even I have been living here more than 180 days last year.
From what the Department Revenue lady said, when filing taxes next year, they’ll see your thai bank account and how much money you received in this account, I guess that’s the amount they’ll be taxing. So looking at the tax amount bracket, just manage how much money you’d like to be taxed.
well as far as I know- any long term visa holders can get tax number at the DR. I chose to pay taxes here in Thailand. I showed my contract that clearly states that I work remotely and can work in Thailand.
