Once you enter the world of the Royal Thai Revenue Department, you won't be laughing.

But you must file a Thai tax return to reap the benefits of the DTA

To avoid being deemed a tax resident, I must be outside Thailand for 6 months and six days. By July 1, I will be just a bit short. So I plan another trip later in the year.

As a precaution, I left Thailand on January 4, and will be gone (except for 2 weeks in April) until July 1. If there still is no concrete information by then, I will spend another month abroad later in the year, so I am not a tax resident this year.

I hope you are wrong. I suspect a lot of people would be very miserable if required to fill out a Thai tax return.

Letters from the tax office? Not likely. More likely but still a remote possibility, the Immigration office informs the visa renewal applicant that a tax return is a requirement for renewal - if the applicant is a tax resident. Since that requires coordination with the Revenue Department, and this is Thailand, this is an unlikely scenario.

The next question is how many Farangs living in the village in Isaan are going to file Thai returns in 2025?
