That’s right, but one more year later you’re safe and can eliminate the use of the agent.

@Brandon ***********

That, or LTR/Elite choices for the wealthy?

@Marc *******

Live from savings or live from any other source which doesn’t qualify as “taxable income” under the Thai revenue code, or live from income which is excluded by a dta.

I bet more than 50% of expats have *zero* assessable income and thus have NO REQUIREMENT TO REGISTER FOR A TIN.

I am ending this ridiculous discussion now. You keep twisting and turning. I once again state the truth: If you don’t have assessable income you do NOT have to register for a TIN.

And now this ends with you on my block list.

@Marc *******

Scare monger…

Call me when all those massive fines are imposed on Americans bringing in only social security. You’re dreaming, scaring people for no good reason. I hope people will acquire proper information rather than listening to your Halloween version.

@Les **********

He is just bending in all kinds of weird curves to avoid admitting that he doesn’t know the rules.

Scare mongering. 🙄

@Marc *******

Don’t obscure the topic.

Being tax resident is *not* the sole requirement for getting a tin, despite you’re claiming otherwise three or four times.

You are spreading false information.

Eot

@Marc *******

Nope. You need to have proof. That’s the “price” of not filing.

In the hypothetical case mentioned earlier: I simply show a bank letter with my savings per /2023 and every thereafter showing how my savings decreased with 12x79,000baht each year.

I lived 100% on savings, no assessable income ever, no TIN required.

Big deal…

Considering your lack of knowledge or understanding I’d say showing 11 letters from the bank might be a huge problem for you.

@Marc *******

No, you don’t.

Wrong answer.

You only need to register if you are tax resident *and* bring in assessable income.

You are spreading false information.

@Marc *******

Hypothetical Case:

1) I am tax resident since 2024.

2) My foreign income is 100,000 baht per month.

3) I bring monthly 79,000 baht into Thailand.

4) I pay zero tax in my home country.

A )Do I need to get a TIN?

B ) Do I need to pay tax in Thailand?

No matter what you answer, I will prove you wrong.
