“become Thai tax resident” means being resident in the Kingdom for 180 days in a calendar year.

@Dominik *************
spending 180 days inside the Kingdom in a calendar year means you are Thai tax resident. Being a Thai tax resident and having to pay Thai tax are two completely different scenarios.

@Tore ********
not quite accurate. You can legally be Thai tax resident and never have a Thai tax filing requirement. Tax residency just means you are subject to Thai tax law.
Pete *******
Unfortunately you don’t get to choose where you pay taxes, governments decide for you. You will be taxed in the country where your income arises and you will be taxed in the country that you are tax resident.

Anonymous participant 801 not possible and also pointless.
Pete *******
Anonymous participant nope, completely wrong. A DTV issued for any reason means you are required to pay Thai tax once you become Thai tax resident and remit assessable income above minimum thresholds.

A DTV is a DTV, there is no changing of the visa. You can work remotely on a DTV regardless of the reason it was issued.
