Anonymous participant 624 Looks like it. Once it is published in the Royal Gazette. It raised nowhere near what they thought it would. Thailand would rather have the money in the country even of not taxed. If it is in the system it can be used.

Anonymous participant 624 "A source from the Finance Ministry who requested anonymity said the taxation of foreign income follows the residency-based principle, whereby Thailand taxes the income of individuals who reside in the country.

This rule applies to persons who stay in Thailand for 180 days or more and have foreign income.

Anonymous participant 241 Basically going back to how it was 2023 is it not? EDIT. Even better. As can bring in same year
Greg ********
Anonymous participant 624 The rules effect everyone who is a Tax Resident in Thailand.. I have just returned from a meeting where this was discussed. The initial changes announced November 2023 were aimed at Thais but foreigners got caught up in it. This is the removal of those changes.

It's not new though. Pre Covid you had to show money for a TR visa. It just stopped during Covid and is being reinstated again

Immigration and Tax Systems are not linked in Thailand unlike Singapore :-)

Anonymous participant 985 I just saw that. Yeah show 20k for a TR. Report said they used to do it but stopped during Covid. I remember back on 2017 and 2018 I had to show money when getting TR in Cambodia for Thailand

They will see he has travelled just to apply. Might raise questions. Different if already in region and travel locally.
Greg ********
Yes, and in place for 30 days before the application.

If it is the 20k THB for visitors etc they have been in place for years. Rarely asked for.
