Actually, you are the clueless dude. Yes, DTV holders also need a TIN. Every foreigner living in Thailand needs a TIN and must file a tax return, whether their income is taxable or not and no matter how long they stay in Thailand per year. Even if you stay less than 180 days and are therefore tax exempt you must file a tax return.

You seem to be the type who hangs out in bars and is more interested in girls and booze than facts about the tax system.

@Roberto ********

According to your outstanding knowledge of the Thai tax system and their resources in the administration, you apparently live in Thailand, right? So it should be easy to find the Royal Gazette. But study some Thai before or let your girlfriend translate for you.

Case closed. I'm not gonna waste more time with ignorant @sshOles.

@Andy ***********

you can't even read and understand.

@Andy ***********

You are clearly lacking in actual information. Good luck next year.

@Andy ***********

DTV holders have to apply for a TIN too and have to pay taxes as well, you 🤡!

@Greg *******

I know from a government official who deals with taxes and finances that the TIN number is planned to be part of the visa. Based on this TIN number, immigration knows whether the tax return has been filed and the taxes have been paid. If you as a layperson have better information, please let us know.

@Roberto ********

I am very aware that nothing has changed in the tax system and it has just not been enforced on the income of farangs and retirees so far. But I cannot believe that even the Royal Gazette is spreading rumors about the impending enforcement.

@Andy ***********

So you've lived in Thailand for many years and still don't know where to get information from the government about current tax system that will be enforced from this year on? Don't you read the Royal Gazette and other news sources? You may call me an subservient sheep, but I think you are a sleeping sheep. But as i said, do what you think is good for you.

@Andy ***********

The latest status (October 2024) is that you must apply for a TIN number and complete a tax return on your 2024 income, which must be submitted by the end of March 2025.

You are free to ignore this. But don't cry when you feel the consequences. As I mentioned earlier, the immigration and tax authorities work hand in hand, and if you don't have a TIN number and haven't filed a tax return, you won't get any further extensions of your visa.

Do what you think is right, I don't care!
