you can. Any work done in Thailand is considered thai sourced income, even if paid overseas from overseas clients. And most on the DTV do some remote work (which is allowed, that’s literally what the DTV is for). Even if not, you’re likely remitting money into the country which you have to declare unless it’s from before 2025

Just because you don’t know anyone doesn’t mean people who have to pay taxes according to the law can just evade taxes for 15 years lol

@Mark ********

no. but I spend more than 180 days in TH

@Elías *******

i understand and i am not saying everyone must file taxes, i obviously speaking about those who had a tax filing obligation according to the law.

@Sefton *******

this. That’s why I am trying to get clarity.

@John *********

any recommendations for tax accountants?

Re tax residency: it’s relatively easy, but it depends on your country of origin (obviously). you can have bank accounts elsewhere, having a bank account alone doesn’t make you a tax resident by default. Many digital nomads freelance or use remote company setups. That being said, personal tax and company tax are two different things. I can have a company in country A and pay taxes in country A on my countries profits but live in country B where I receive my personal income

@Bob *********

you can get a TIN very easily and you can pay taxes without a local bank account, there are ways - it’s not hard to

@Bob *********

if you’re in Thailand for more than 180 days you become a tax resident and if you have tax obligations you must file taxes. i agree it’s a very gray area right now and that’s why i am asking to get clarity. i want to do right and act according to the law and not evade taxes in Thailand

@Jefe ******

what does that even mean?

@Pete ******

Some may, some may not. I know a handful of nomads that are only a tax resident in Thailand due to the DTV and nowhere else, and they generate some form of taxable income or money. That’s what I am asking about. Even if you want to make use of your DTA you’d have to file taxes here in Thailand just to tell them that you already paid taxes in a different country.
