I heard they only do documentation re-checks (funds, contracts etc.) if you attempt to extend on 180 days with IO. If you do a visa run, there is no additional checks.

thank you! And for sure, I'd be leaving like at 170 days or so, just to be safe. Lol

@Luit ****************

I am not sure I understand. So if I stay July 2026 - July 2027, I become tax resident? Do you have a source for this?

I am confused because I found numerous different info (that's why Im even asking on here and plan to speak with thai accountant once I get there either way - But i'm trying to prepare)

@John ********

you clearly are not a business owener and have never dealt with tax authorities. Stop giving dangerous advice.

@Luit ****************

exactly this! The reason I got DTV is because I am a bussines owner, meaning, I plan to work (remotely) while in TH. There is no DTA with Slovenia, where my business is registered.

And maybe people are just dumb, but countries don't play about their money. Repercussions could be severe and not worth the risk for somone like me. I am not willing to bankrupt my business or myself just to save a few bucks. Or worse.

I can't believe the straight up dangerous tax-evasion advice from some people here.

@Peter *********

my company is registered in my home country - Slovenia. I have to pay 100% of it even if I spend 0 days here. There is no DTA agreement between TH and SI. And I can't just move my company to thailand, nor do I want to.

@John ********

it is not a tourist visa. And as a business owner who has dealt with a local tax authority, I can tell you, countries don't play about their money. Staying 180+ days per tax year in TH triggers Tax Residency. My question was weather or not the Thai tax year is the same as calendar year.

It's for people like you that local hate digital nomads. Staying in a country for 5 years and not paying a dollar of taxes...? Come on now.

Anonymous participant 490 Nope, no DTA. I checked :/ that's why I am even asking about it. And I am in Slovenia - and since my permanent residency is here, my company is registered here, I have to pay full tax even if I spend 0 days in the country. (:

@John ********

plus, this is a DTV visa group. No one here is looking on staying in TH for a month on a tourist visa... Ffs

Anonymous participant 490 IF you DN (which I plan), you can avoid double taxation as long as you don't overstay in a single country. So yes, you can chose if you pay double tax or not - by moving along earlier.
