Anonymous participant 820 I took two weeks' holiday immediately after arriving in Thailand. I also took another two weeks when I visited my home country in the middle of the year. That means I don't have many days of holiday left towards the end of the year.

Anonymous participant 820 In the double-taxation agreement it clearly says that the right to tax goes to Thailand when you stay more than 180 days. The document protects individuals from double taxation, but also regulates which country has the right to tax in which situation.

There is also an official paper from the Thai Ministry of Finance that shows very clearly that, in my situation, my income must be taxed in Thailand.

So I do not think that Thailand wants me to pay tax in my home country.

I see no reason to avoid paying income tax.

I have no choice regarding my tax liability, and my tax payment is therefore not voluntary but based on law and objective reasonableness. My salary is, by definition, Thai-sourced employment income, because I perform my remote work on Thai territory. This is a clear statement from a licensed and well-informed tax advisor. Whereby I have additionally cross-checked this statement with official sources.

It is the only right and lawful thing to do to pay my taxes here. As a guest in this country, it is particularly important for me to abide by the laws.

I therefore do not understand your comment on this. Just one comment earlier, you pointed out the tax obligation.

@Wannikea ********

yes, i know that. I'm already officially exempt from income tax in my home country upon application. I’m about to apply for the tax number. 👍

Next year.

Anonymer Teilnehmer 816 not true in case of the first 90-days-report per stay. Personal attendance is required then.

You will need all the same documents as you would need when applying for a new DTV.

@Jeremy ********

For example, if the intended DTV is based on a cookery course or something like that, or what could be the background to such decisions by the authority?
