My information is for ALL expats living in Thailand. No misinformation at all. Look at DTAs. It's all there! 👍

@John *********

Sorry, I didn't realise DTV tax rules were any different. And you're obviously not aware that so many "retirees" have already switched to DTV, and no doubt more to follow! 👍👍

@John *********

Possibly. I'm talking about the bulk of expats, many of whom will not even be filing tax returns, myself amongst them, and yet still being perfectly legal

Anonymous participant At least he's telling the truth, unlike many of these other parasite "tax advisors" who have crawled out of the woodwork these last months, and unfortunately sucked many gullible expats into parting with large sums of cash for nothing! ✅👍👍👍

@John *********

I'd say 99% members of this group would be covered, so it's important that they know there's every possibility they won't have assessable tax in Thailand

@John *********

Many countries include as it aligns with the OECD model DTA. Best way to avoid being caught by the Thai tax net

@John *********

Yes but you can be a dual tax resident in which case you use the tie-break process in the DTA to determine which country has sole taxation rights. If the OP wants to be a sole Thai tax resident, he needs to ensure that he no longer has tax residency in his home country. He can only do that through disassociation

@John *********

I've already said that. You need to keep up! 😂😂😂

@John *********

You can't "apply" for tax residency on the back of a tourist visa, which is what the DTV is. The application for a DTV requests information relating to residency and/or citizenship. You must show where you are living, which is in another country.

Anonymous participant Tax residence is not something you apply for. You just fall into irrespective of what visa you're on. After 180 days in a calendar year being in Thailand you're "deemed" a tax resident of Thailand. However, it's a sweeping statement. Each individual person has their own situation to determine if they remain a tax resident. Refer to your DTA, and your own country's rules on Tax Residency. It's not that simple. If you wish to become a Thai Tax Resident, ensure you have completely disassociated yourself from your home country
