wrong. They must ensure you comply with the immigration rules (valid passport, visa, onward tickets etc). If not they get fined and responsible to return you home. Try boarding an international flight with your drivers license as ID.

@Andreas ********

sorry you 2 are right.

@Angelo **********

you obviously did not follow what I’m saying. I suppose you’re currently working remotely on a DTV here in Thailand?

@Angelo **********

what’s this about employment? I m very familiar with the word. Please read the word following employment. This taken from a valid DTV!

Anonymous participant for various reason good idea. How do you work for the Canadian company. Do you supply an invoice? Proprietorship? How do they derive the source deduction?

@Angelo **********

it strictly says employment prohibited! Meaning you cannot be employed in Thailand as an employee. Working remotely is a whole different scenario. In effect you can physically work for others, (none thais, non thai companies) within Thailand. No such term as a tax citizen. There are basically 2 types of residents referred to in most countries and sure this will apply here.

Factual and deemed Resident.

Way too much to get into but worth reading up on.

You normally pay tax on income period.

1. Thats the first question you need ask yourself.

2. Does Thailand have a tax treaty with your resident country?

3. Are you retired or still working?

4. If working who is collecting your tax?

DTV won’t allow you to work here. Normally taxes are collected in the country you are working.

Yes need to wait but if you are here over 6 months then you would be considered a “resident” but not necessarily as a tax resident. I believe where you may have issues is if you have private investments and dividends and bring that money into Thailand with first paying taxes in the country the “income” was derived. Basic accounting!

Your asking the question now?

@Kevin *****

here is a good question. If I own a boat in Thailand, Thai registration and come stay on it. Do I file my own TM30?

@Lynnette ******

play the system, don’t let the system play you!
