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.

@Roger *******

Correct, but “within 60 days”, not 30.

@Marc *******

No you don’t necessarily have to register. The tax law says you need to register when you are tax resident (180 days rule) *and* have assessable income.

Eg. people who live on savings or US social security never have to register for a TIN.

@Steven ********

I don’t know what “fill it in as blank” means when related to your tax number.

About the bank’s attitude: They are legally bound to do this due to CRS requirements. Every bank I know lists in its T&C that you are required to provide truthful and complete answers to their information requests or they *may* close your account.

It is what it is.

@Jay ******

“no one knows” is the biggest bartalk story I keep hearing from people who don’t go beyond sticking their heads in the sand and simply deny that there might be a liability.

Tax liabilities are different for each individual here, so a five lined post will never bear enough information for a definitive answer. Giving indefinite answers is the only choice.

“Wir haben es nicht gewusst” will not protect anyone from legal obligations. The excuse has been attempted and tested before.

@Pete ******

On top of that I see a huge language incompatibility here. Most Thai people have limited or no command of the English language and if the foreigner also has language problems (see post) then that is by itself a guarantee for misunderstanding.

@Marc *******

If you have no assessable income then you don’t even have to register.

Check Thailand Tax rules for expats for more information.

@Shaughn **********

So he is required to buy a ticket and they already have a border bounce in that consideration? 🤣🤣🤣

Right. Of course! Why didn’t I think of that? 🤣🤣🤣

@Marc *******

Huh? How can he be on visa exemption for six months?

Your comments are getting a bit obscure.

@John *****

Hahaha. Wake up, dude!

Haven’t seen such empty messages since my childhood. You would be funny if you weren’t so dumb

You’d wish you’d be f*cking my wife, but my guess is a dickhead like you can’t keep a girl long enough to score a single kiss.

Bet you come off by the mere thought of a kiss. 🤣🤣🤣
