This I believe depends on the DTA with the country where such property is located in (income source country). in the DTA should be a clear distinction between exempt vs. tax input credit. If the DTA prescribes that it can be used as a tax input credit, towards tax in the other jurisdiction (Thailand it is). Thailand will most likely double tax it regardless anyway and then it's UP TO YOU to proof with DTA and other prevailing docs with the Revenue department that the tax which is due needs to be off-set with any tax input credit. Basically, long story short... better not to go down that route ...yet. As it certainly requires additional docs, translations etc and believing that the current tax law is relatively new and the very limited knowledge of DTA's, i believe it will go nowhere, until there's more clarify on the matter. As we go forward would be interested to see/learn from other people's experiences, claiming tax input credit on foreign sourced income... Trying to think a bit pragmatic here and along the lines given the context and situation we are in here dealing with bureaucracy in Thailand...

Thanks Sheryl

Dear AN members, Another one here regarding tax refunds... Filed my tax returns successfully and received a confirmation text message on phone from Revenue Department telling me that tax refund letter (K21 - form) has been sent to my address *(which I will need to use later) for getting my tax refund into my (Krungthai) bank account (Assuming they're not sending out cheques anymore and as a foreigner I can't register for promptpay to receive my tax refund). Basically, this message has been sent to me about 3 weeks ago and still have not received any letter. Does anyone has experience on this and is it normal that it takes that long to receive by post? Cheers, FB

Dear Fellow AN members, I was wondering if anyone has experience or knowledge of expats declaring personal income tax here in Thailand (PND94 - midyear + PND90 year's end) on income derived from rental income from properties abroad? Assuming you are tax-resident (by default of 180 + residing in Thailand) and have 'earned AND send this 'income' into Thailand), during the same tax year when being a tax resident in the Kingdom of Thailand. Seems there's no distinction made regardless of this is rental income derived form property within Thailand as opposed to property located abroad. Rental income under the revenue act 40(5) as defined rental income, requires as well additional filing of mid-year tax return (PND94) in addition to the standard (PND90/91). Anyone's take on this is much appreciated. Cheers, FB

Dear Fellow AN members, Can anyone from personal (non-biased) experience recommend any brokerage for Thai residents, meaning easy to purchase/sell off crypto (BTC, Ethereum etc) in THB and Thai Bank accounts? Any pro's / con's of local brokerage vs. international ones, based abroad? I often read there may be risks involved with international brokers abroad that may lock you out/freeze account if address is in Thailand? What are the pitfalls to be wary off in terms of tax in Thailand and/or there interesting ways of getting money in/out of Thailand? Cheers, FB

Hello AN members, As the headers suggests, any solid recommendations (based on own experience) with crypto brokers (BTC, Ethereum etc) with license in Thailand? What are the pro's/con's of brokerage within Thailand vs. abroad? What about taxes in Thailand and ways of getting crypto/cash out efficiently ? Cheers, FB

Thanks for all your reactions so far. All much appreciated. Cheers!

interesting thread but reactions are unfortunately way to often off-topic. Still can't find a clear /definite answer in regards of docs required to renew...

Mine has... because age under 60

Hi Folks, As the header suggests... Anyone that can share their experience for renewal of Pink ID card and what documents are required? Does a change in visa status potentially effect the renewal of a Pink ID? Cheers, FB

Curious about these developments and how equally this will be applied to path for Thai citizenship... Previously, in Thailand a foreign 'spouse' (women), married to Thai 'spouse' (male), was able to obtain Thai citizenship through marriage and probably some other requirements within a short period of 3-5 years only. Whilst foreign 'spouses' (males), married to Thai 'spouse' (women) were not able to persuade this route. Instead foreign male 'spouses' had to obtain permanent residency and thereafter within 5 years apply for citizenship, which is a very long (read unequal process), compared to a female foreign spouse trying to obtain Thai citizenship through marriage with Thai male 'spouse'...

Dear Sheryl and other long-term residents, From reading above threads, I can see that the SSO will cover room+nursing fees etc up to 700 THB when admitted in Private hospital and that any 'upgrade' to private room etc will need to be paid by yourself. Whereas all other doctor, medication and medical intervention/operation remain fully covered by SSO... Question here is... Would someone be able to claim the additional expenses for a room upgrade from their private health insurance *(if you have one)? Or is this practice not allowed by health insurance companies? More in particular anyone experience with April health insurance on this matter? Merry Xmas! FB

Hi Folks, Been reading various info/mixed feedback on Aseannow regarding the possibility of getting the annual extensions done yourself, AFTER making use of an agent for the intial/First Non-O+Annual extensions? I guess some people may have used agent for opening account/fixing initial visa without meeting financial requirements themselves. But for those that have build up enough financials over the coming year would be able to do the annual extension by themselves, right? Or is this wrong? Some people say they made use of the agent the first 2 extensions and were able to do some from the 3th subsequent annual extension themselves... Cheerios, FB

@Dr. Jack, why would OP need to stick with agent for annual extensions if he can do himself with correct financials build of the year after?

Ok thanks for the advise Dr. Jack *(as usual) 🙂 Yes previous address at same immigration office...
