On your own unfortunately. But child will be ok as a dependent.

It will be 500,000 thb at current exchange rate. That fluctuates, so make sure it’s more. 😉

And always double check with the embassy you apply to. As they may be fixed in currency as well.

Rule of thumb will be 500k though

@Greg *******

oh I bow to your mighty intellect and wisdom of thinking you know more than others. You must feel so good trying to put others down which by the way is all you have done. I commented on what the rules are about a specific situation. Which by the way IS right. But whatever.

@Greg *******

what makes you think that? I mean it’s a big assumption to think that. Just because I’m British I have never filed a tax return anywhere else?

Actually I have to file in the UK, Australia, Norway and next year in Thailand.

As for what I know, probably a lot more than you right now. About many things.

I mean the fact that you actually believe you are not responsible for getting the tax wrong if you are paying a specialist here is laughable. Haha

@Greg *******

well then, you already know. But don’t be so sure about where you stand. As the laws are constantly moving so any money you bring here will definitely be taxable or at least reportable. But they are definitely looking to change that to all income regardless of bringing it here or not.

And there are many many people that will read this and be educated. So it’s not just about YOU.

@Greg *******

do you understand how tax law works?

If you live here, that’s resident for more than 6 months, you are liable for declaring tax on ALL income.

But most countries will have a double taxation agreement with Thailand so you would technically only be liable for the difference.

The problem that will come is they can see how much money you bring into the country, and if you don’t file a return then you will probably have issues at some point. Might not be for a while but it could be a problem in the future.

No different to anywhere else. You would be good to take advice on this if trading anyway and not resident anywhere else. There could also be benefits to setting up as a business in 3rd country to minimise the tax liability.

What you shouldn’t do though is think because I make money elsewhere that it’s nothing to do with me living here. Because it most certainly is.

Oh and if you are talking about the DTV and how that will work when everyone works remotely, it will be exactly the same. People will get caught out if they don’t prepare and understand this.

Also consider if you are here on any type of visa that doesn’t allow work, remote work will be breaching immigration law which would possibly lead to deportation.

All I’m trying to say is, don’t bury your head because others do. People get caught, kicked out, and all sorts all the time here and you’ll never hear about it.

Currently over 1000 people a week being rejected entry just in the 2 airports in BKK. Because tourist visas and bounces have been abused.

@Greg *******

not so sure I would see it this way, if you are talking about buying the occasional stock then yeah I would agree. But if you are actively trading then it’s work. And if you live here and make money from trading then you should be paying your taxes here.

Anything other than that is wrong. That’s just my opinion though.

Fly anyway, just bounce if approved.

Have you stayed on any other hotel or location in Thailand since you obtained your TM30 from the landlord?

If you stay even one night elsewhere then your TM30 for the rental won’t show in the system at all, so immigration won’t be able to process the paperwork.

Exactly the same process but declare your visa as the reason for hers with marriage certificate instead of employment.
