of course they do as they won’t process your documents unless you meet the requirements. They aren’t doing anything else than submitting the required documents:

Imagine paying 5K baht for someone to reply to an email, that you will have had to answer the question for, essentially copy, paste, send. lol

or just buy a cheap bus or train ticket to Laos.

have you got yourself a LinkedIn profile? Get one of those going if not, list off your stuff. Maybe get some of your clients to make a recommendation on your profile. Provide the link as part of your portfolio.

@Ēad ******

do you work for a foreign none Thai company?

Can you get the documents they want and have the funds?That’s all your need to prove.

What does it matter?

@Kirilly *********

well they can’t tax using withholding tax as you’re not being paid by a Thai company. There’s no way for them to tax you till you declare it.

No idea where you have been reading but the Thai revenue service released a document earlier in 2024.

@Kirilly *********

it’s a bit more nuanced than that. Won’t be taxed twice as Thailand will only know when he submits a PND at the end of the financial year.

When submitting that assessment form they can declare the Uk tax paid, provide evidence and under the DTA the tax paid in the UK will be included in the tax liability calculation.

The tax paid in the Uk will be likely higher meaning the Thai assessment will determine no tax to be paid.

The big question is how Thai Revenue is going to know about him and how he will get a tax ID number to fill out the PND.

One other thing neglected is if you have already paid tax on it and your country has a double taxation agreement with then you may well not need to pay any tax on it.

Indeed it does but not all those 210,000 unsold condos are in the same place. They're also unsold which means they aren't owned so can't be rented out, so really has no impact on this discussion at all.

You seem to have completely missed the point as we're not talking about buying condos.
