Anonymous participant for the Thai government a remote work is not a work -_- at least until you're on a proper visa. But I don't know if money from remote work is Thai sourced or not - there are different opinions.

I received my TIN on DTV without any problems. Yes, we are obligated to pay taxes. No matter if it's a tourist visa or not

Anonymous participant 799 also you don't need to send money to your Thai bank account to make it remitted. If you bring it by cash into Thailand, take it from ATM, use a payment card in Thailand - it's also considered remitted.

Anonymous participant 799 also read about "foreign branch" definition (from your country's DTA)

I think here's the case! I believe - strictly according to the law - it should be considered as remitted! You can look for some discussion about it in this group - a lawyer showed the specific articles from the law that support this statement (however many people tried to ignore his words). It looks like people don't know about it and consider it as not remitted - and even the officers sometimes agree with that. So I think it's totally unclear, like many things in Thai tax law.

So I recommend you to use a good tax advisor who will take responsibility for that decision. That's what I do.

Btw. Sometimes taxes in Thailand can be lower than in your home country, so it can be a good idea to remit that money.
