Does the new tax residency rule in Thailand affect expats' decision to stay long term?

Nick ************

@Peter *********

everybody says it will get dark tonight. The point is being tax resident in Thailand does not remove the confusion around whether you pay tax there or not so I stand by my comment because I am not wrong.

Yes and it's why I have sentenced myself to 6 months in the 🇬🇧 this tax year so that the proceeds from a house sale will not be taxable when remitted to Thailand. So far I've managed 6 weeks of my sentence and seriously wondering whether or not I would rather pay the tax!

Yes. Say I'm thinking of buying a condo for 3 million baht and a new car for 1.75 million baht. If I have to pay tax on that money when I bring it in to Thailand its nit going to happen. That's 4.75 million baht that will never come to Thailand. I will continue to rent and make do with my 5 year old car.

because you may have paid tax on the money somewhere else already. Obviously income generated in Thailand is taxed in Thailand.

What are the alternatives to Wise for sending money from the U.S. to Thailand after TTB stopped accepting remittances?

Nick ************

it is more likely to show as ftt if you send to 1 of 3 banks one of which is Bangkok Bank. If this is what you need then get Wise to tag your account. I have had successful transfers marked as international monthly for the last 15 months to BB.
