@Tore ********
okay perhaps paying tax is possible in the situation described by the OP. However, this work will be illegal in Thailand when a foreigner doesn't have a proper visa and the work permit. Will the immigration and labor office find out that the foreigner works illegally? Do they care?

@Pete ******
can you please explain what is false and why. Interested to know

Foreigners can't just be freelancers, getting paid to their thai bank, and pay tax here. The DTV visa allows being a freelancer with a condition that he/she is paid to their foreign bank and pay taxes in the country their bank acc is in

To pay taxes in Thailand, you need to be legally employed, or have a registered company. Both require obtaining a work permit afaik

But weren't Thai customers affected too?

I agree it's crazy. And the expats who get treated this way are the ones trying to abide by the laws of this country

@Roberto ********
that's if based on monthly income (pension), then yes. But a lot of ppl can only afford the money kept in a thai bank option only

And having funds in a thai bank is required for many of expats to meet visa requirements...
