@Gerry ******

you believe incorrectly.

@Jens *******

out of curiosity what is a life strategist and how do you elevate C-suite achievers?

@Jens *******

we are talking about any immigration office within the Kingdom

@Jens *******

I have asked many times at my local immigration office and the answer is always the same….”Sorry Mister no have”…..

The real question is has any immigration office published its requirements and pricing for an in country extension of a DTV entry.

What are the official requirements and cost for an in country extension….

@Philip ******

not true. My home country UK has a DTA with Thailand and I would in some circumstances be required to pay Thai tax on foreign sourced remittances which has already been taxed in the UK.

You automatically become tax resident after 180 days in the Kingdom in any given year. That means you become subject to Thai tax law, that is all. No automatic TIN or tax filing required. You will need to get a TIN if you are tax resident AND have a tax liability in a given tax year. Tax liability means you have domestic income or have remitted foreign sourced assessable income above minimum thresholds. What classifies as assessable income can be found on the TRD website and there is an English translation of the Revenue Code there too.

@Jens ********

not true.

just because you become tax resident it does not mean you automatically have to file taxes. You can legally reside in Thailand without paying any Thai tax or filing a return. It all depends on your personal circumstances.
