nope, still possible through agents as long as you are then immediately applying for a Non-O.

@Peter **********

still possible through an agent.

@Chris *********

you need to go to an agent. They open a bank account for you and the account is then frozen until you return with a valid Non-O. Cost 45-60k.

Only possible if you are transitioning to a Non-O from the tourist visa.

@Rok *******

what will that do as at that point you will already have become Thai tax resident?

@Rok *******

silly statement, Thai tax law determines liability.

@Kool ******

the process of claiming tax credit through a DTA is well known. If your tax credit doesn’t cover your Thai tax liability you will be paying additional Thai tax. A basic rate UK tax payer pays 20%, Thailand has tiered rates up to 35%. Its follows that a Thai tax liability can occur on foreign sourced remitted income that has already been taxed in the source country.

Anonymous participant you can work remotely as long as you don’t work for a Thai business or have any Thai customers. The company, customers and payments must all be outside of Thailand.

@Harry *******

complete nonsense.

Anonymous participant Thailand does not tax worldwide income. Working remotely on a DTV is NOT earning Thai sourced income. On many DTV visas you will see printed “Employment Prohibited “. You are not allowed to earn Thai sourced income with a DTV.
