@Randy *****

you kind of outed yourself as one 🤷🏻‍♂️

@Willem ***

indeed. Not even leaving the country. A TM 30 change would probably do it

Did you provide evidence you were physically in Indonesia? Me and many others have successfully obtained DTV from Indonesia

Thats pretty much it yes. Passport and pdf print when entering

Yes

@Charles *********

that only works with some embassies. Some require the balance to go back 6 months

@Tori *******

again, there’s no income requirement with DTV. Just sufficient bank balance

For Chaeng Wattana, TM30 and passport/visa/entry stamp. Then they mail it by post to TM30 registered address. 200b

They didn’t care one bit about my condo lease,

Wat I did:

- book appointment for Neurosurgeon at a Bangkok Hospital online, received a pdf confirmation.

- applied and received DTV in Jakarta with, medical appointment, bank statement and passport.

Im under legit treatment. But at least in Jakarta all I needed was a single initial consultation appointment

“so, do you mean.... if i have 100k invested pre 2024. 10k was unrealized capital gains pre 2024. and capital gains from 2024 was say 20k. if i sell all and remit to thailand in 2024 the asessabile parts would be the 10k + 20k for thai personal income tax? .

when you said to "reset" it was something you did priot to 2024 because to reset now would not make any difference in terms of thai tax when remitted.”

I think you are misunderstanding. (Or I’m misunderstanding you) I did the reset recently, I’m not currently tax resident, but will be in 2025. (I will also bring on enough money to bridge me trough next year before NY, so I don’t have to pay tax until 2026, but different subject i guess. Anyhow:

By selling/rebuying before becoming tax resident in Thailand, you reset capital gains to zero. As you realized them and re-invested. Only gains from that point on would be taxable when remitting to Thailand in the future. (CGT reset)

- so say you sell and rebuy right now. (Assuming not yet thai tax resident) Now your capital gains is zero from Thailand perspective.

- in 2025 you make 10% gains

- you sell some of this and remit into Thailand while at 10% gains (since reset) Say 1 million baht.

- now only 10% of this was actual gains. (10% up from start price) So you only calculate tax against 100k baht. Which is zero % (0-150k is 0%). So zero tax on 1m baht remitted if gains are 10%

in your example you have total 30k capital gains. But how much is the % gains from your total holdings? (%gains from original purchase price) Even if its 30k, if thats only 10% of total holdings, you calculate tax based in 10% of the amount you bring in.

Not sure how to better explain.
