When you read some stories on some FB group/page regarding Thai visa.. Some were recently‌ approved by giving as proof/requirement ONE medical appointment.. LOL. Not a therapy, or different appointments‍ for 6 months+.. No no, just 1 appointment..
 
It looks like⁠ I should spend that $80 to open a US LLC, even if it's just for⁤ a 5 year Thai visa, lol.
 
Great interview regarding the DTV with somebody from the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
 
The question I’m still unclear about are taxes.
If i get this visa, do i‌ become a tax resident after 183 and must start to pay taxes based on their‍ income tax laws?
 
Your visa has nothing to do with⁠ your tax residency. If you are in Thailand 180 days or more in the same⁤ year, you are a tax resident in Thailand. Period. If that happens, you should pay⁣ taxes on your remitted income. If you have paid taxes before for said remitted income⁢ before, you might use a double tax treaty to get a tax credit or not︀ pay taxes on it. That depends on your passport, DTT, and type of income.

Only the LTR visa has some kind of tax exemption or special tax treatment.
 

“on your remitted income”⁢

Remitted to me anywhere in the world
or
remitted into thailand?
 
If it’s not remitted into that bank and not from thai source,‍ is it still taxable?

Also, any official source where I can read about it?
 
does paying with non thai debit card in Thailand consider as remittance?
Same question with‌ using that vers to get cash from ATM?
 
What does that source say? I think you are just‍ talking out your a*s. It seems like alot of people believe if you are a⁠ thai resident for tax purposes you will be taxed on your worldwide income regardless of⁤ whats brought into the country.
 
What I said is what the TRC says. If you⁤ don't know how to read or interpret a law is no my problem. What people⁣ believe or not, I don't care and it's not my problem.

That being said. Do⁢ whatever the heck you want. If you want to pay tax on your worldwide income︀ in Thailand, up to you with the RD. I'm not your tax advisor.
 
Section 41 states: "Thai tax residents are subject to tax⁤ on income derived from both Thailand and abroad if the income is brought into Thailand⁣ within the same tax year it is earned"

so based on that you would be⁢ paying taxes only if you brought the income into the country.

there is a new︀ rule January 1, 2024, which states foreign income is taxed if brought into country, regardless︁ of the year it was earned.

so minor change and appears that there is only︂ a tax liability on income brought into the country.
 
nothing. Just chatter at this point. It may or may not change in the mid‍ term (id expect it will change tho, unless there are pro-free revolutions in the west,⁠ which look increasingly likely).
Id rec a week in pattaya just to see how things⁤ work. But read the legal codes before going for extra educational purposes.
