@Dennis ********

you often end up with zero tax in Thailand after tax credits from tax paid in home is deducted. But it’s assessable income you are supposed to report.

But in many cases net tax would be zero.

Its not a waste if money to follow the law. AND it also helps you keep you thai Bank account……..

@Bryan **********

while true, income from the US brought into Thailand IS assessable income in Thailand. Even if DTAs allows for already paid taxes as tax credits; you are still supposed to report it even if you end up with zero tax in Thailand after deductions of tax credits

@Dany *******

no! You only file tax return if you have actual assessable remitted income. In fact they wont even give you tax id if you can’t show proof of assessable income.

AND assessable income does not necessarily mean you end up paying tax due to tax credits via DTA’s etc. But any ASSESSABLE income should be reported.

Do some research, it’s quite important to understand this.

I personally have assessable income I remit and have to report. But due to DTA and already paid taxes elsewhere, my effective tax in Thailand is Zero.

Anonymous participant 844 i paid cash then

Took me 3 days in Jakarta as well without using any agent. But was before they switched to E-visa

Worst anyone can do with it is to send you money……But I suspect you can redact it. Call the specific embassy and ask. Every embassy/consulates have different rules

Sure, visa doesn’t matter for buying condo. But you might want to do some research in the subject. Both risky and often bad investment

@John *********

what?? How do you understand Thai culture so little when living here? Dressing respectfully and showing humility to Bank staff goes a long way. Bank staff are considered authority. Thailand is more conservative then you realize.

Being a rude farang in shorts at a bank is a sure way to get disliked …..

@David *******

if you say so lol. But no, plenty of cases where all required documents was sent, but then they ask for more supporting documentation 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Morons are those that leave while application still pending……

This isn’t new, its been stated over and over you should stay in application country until approval . Just like you had to when applying in person. No difference 🤷🏻‍♂️. Its also states somewhere in a disclaimer you agree too when apply during the process. And its, you know : common sense…..

That will likely be tricky unless you have a registered company.
