Stephen Howell and has to be legalized according to Thai law and new rules published in January 2026

Jim Ramsey you better get a written confirmation from Thai revenue service for this. It’s definitely a contradiction from published rules but if you are of that opinion get a written document from them stating this. If not you could be in trouble and quite a few others.

Paul Jones when? Last year?

Taxation and declarations are two separate issues. Check the rules deciding what applies to you. In most cases declaration yes. Taxation no.

Stephen Howell but it has to be legalized

@John *********

yes absolutely but the hosting country (Thailand) is allowed to demand declaration of the income taken into the country. This and what requirements I hardly think is mentioned in any DTA. Pls differ between right of taxation and demand of declaration. This rule valid from 2024 as in accordance with the OECD rules for avoidance of tax and fiscal evasion

Stephen Howell yes then you are well informed about the rules. The new issue is if you want to reduce your taxes in Thailand with paid taxes from home country according to DTA you need a legalized tax certificate

@John *********

yes that is correct of course. However, I still believe that Thailand has the right to demand declaration. Even the under the LTR- visa declaration is mandatory.

Dany Nomads well if you not comply it could be quite painful up to 200% of not declared income from abroad

Just blocked another laughing “hyena”. I don’t understand these creatures; what’s so funny about info given? They don’t want any info or just to stupid to validate new info? The sad thing is if people are met with this attitude they hardly will share any information anymore.
