I don't see how this is relevant. It seems some are paying attention to the direction of the Thai government in regard to tax reform, while others prefer not to know or attempt to understand.....

My personal opinion is that tax clearance and immigration/visa renewal status will link at some point in the future. They are linked by current law at Immigration departure points if over 180 days in Thailand. They stopped enforcing this in the early 90s.

Why would you want Revene Department staff do this for you? Because it's free?!? Just showing up at a Revene office opens up the possibility of all sorts of unanticipated questions & directives. Front line staff are not exactly well trained on analyzing assessable income, interpreting tax treaties, and so on... No thanks....

It worked like a charm. Awesome, thank you so much! Great advice....

@NoDisplayName I completed my tax return online. However, I am unable to access the Print Receipt for Paying Taxes function. My 13 digit TIN does not work. The Filing Reference Number for my return does not work. Do you have any advice, thanks....

After you have a TIN, you can file online by yourself. The Revenue Department has an end-user friendly online site to file. A Chrome Browser is able to translate the entire process into English. Determine, to the best of your ability, your assessable income for 2024. If necessary, find help to do this in the private sector (not the Revenue Department). You don't need to pay anyone to file once you're determined your assessable income. Enter your information into the Revenue Department's online site and file. Pay by QR code if you owe taxes. Finished. You're a tax resident here (>180 days) and have successfully filed. If the Revenue Department has questions, they will ask. Keep good notes and records for this possibility - just like your home country taxes. I would not expect, or want, the Revenue Department front line staff to advise about evaluating my finances for assessable income. Or assistance with filing.... I think most would not have that expectation of their home country Revenue Department equivalents. Search for Revenue Department's online e-file site (efiling.rd.go.th). Right click on Google Chrome and select translate to English For those without a TIN, you can go to the Revenue Department and apply for a TIN. Just that one task. Nothing else.... You’re not there for their assistance to file your taxes. You already have someone to do that.

Blue book is a must have document. I doubt the police (or immigration) would negotiate that. if I were in your situation, I would hold off registering your transfer of address in the red police book until I had my name in a blue book in their area.

I’m sure this has been covered here or elsewhere. I’m resident in Thailand during 2024 (>180 days). I will have no assessable income in 2024. Will I be required to file a 2024 tax return?

Try a healthy vegan diet - no junk, and focus on reducing plant based saturated fat. Combine that with cardio and stress resistance exercises. I was able to reverse early stage chronic kidney disease and have never looked back. This way of eating & living is a lot of change & effort but really does work. All the best of luck 👍

Hello, I'm looking for recommendations for contractors to sound proof a condo in central Bangkok.

Hello, Sorry if this is not the correct forum I have a dual voltage wall socket in my bathroom. The voltage is currently set to 240v. Would it be safe to use this socket to use a fan for the bathroom?

I have two very old Lenovo ThinkPad laptops that I need to get rid of. I have looked around online to find places to take electronic waste. I would also like to get suggestions from Forum member as well. Thanks in advance....

For Forum members from the USA - Your opinion, please. Would income (retirement) from a ROTH account be considered assessable income by the Revenue Department in Thailand?

I’ve used this bank branch before many times. The last time I did a counter advance was late December. Not sure why this is no longer working. A friend reports the same problem…

Sorry I wasn't clear. This was a cash advance at the bank counter. (Not an ATM) Money definitely cleared & available on the Schwab end.
