Anonymous participant 857 incorrect, there is no three month limit, an IDP is valid until it expires.

Anonymous participant 857 wrong, there is no 3 month limit. The IDP is valid until it’s expiry date.

the 90 day limit is an urban myth, it doesn’t exist in Thai law or the Convention. A IDP is valid until it expires.

Correct, but, you need all original updated documents, ongoing workation/soft power activity, ongoing financials and anything else the IO asks for which is why the vast majority prefer to simply border bounce to get their next 180 day entry stamp without having to provide any of the extension requirements.

Three months after the date of your extension you can drop to 400k.

“If you import income earned in your country in 2025 but transfer it to Thailand in 2026 it is not taxable under Thai law because to be taxable it must be income earned in the same year that you transferred it.”

Utter nonsense. What determines if the remitted income is taxable or not is your tax residency status at the time the income was earned. If you are not a Thai tax resident then foreign sourced assessable income can be remitted tax free. If you are a Thai tax resident then foreign sourced assessable income is subject to tax when remitted even if remitted in future years. Learn to read the actual Thai tax law.

very true...

@Yo***

they have enforcement teams but the resources are limited so they go after the many big fish in Thailand. Your personal income tax enforcement is not high on their radar unless of course you come to their attention through criminal activity.

@Yo***

nope, the Thai Revenue Department doesn’t operate like that. The legal obligation is on you to report your own affairs.
