Possibly a Thai bank statement which includes your address or a utility bill would suffice but as CM stated, it all depends on that particular RD office.

Revenue Department urges tax residents in Thailand to file 2024 returns by March 31. Expats with over 180 days in Thailand must submit returns for income remitted in 2024. New tax rules require filing electronically, with possible refunds for early submissions. The Director-General of the Revenue Department on Thursday called on taxpayers to file their end-of-year returns for 2024. This will be the first year that all foreign residents in Thailand are included. Changes to tax regulations in 2023 make all income remitted to Thailand by foreign residents in the country for over 180 days last year declarable. The income tax payable by each foreigner depends on the nature of such income and the tax treaty with their country of origin. The question now is how many foreign taxpayers will file returns between now and March 31st. After that, it remains to be seen if follow-up actions will be taken against those who fail to do so. A Thai Examiner survey in 2024 showed that 16% of people plan to take professional advice, while a full 58% would not file a return at all. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2025/01/03/revenue-department-boss-calls-on-tax-residents-in-thailand-to-file-2024-runs-by-the-march-31st-deadline/

Oops, I've just checked and yes you are correct I have always thought that it was a Singaporean bank with branches in Thailand.

Yes, UOB have a branch here but it's not a Thai bank.

Not looking good for both the US Dollar or Pound sterling.

How many more similar reports will we hear about this. Nothing will happen and we all know it.

Your GF just need to watch a youtube CPR training video.

Concur. I'm in exactly the same situation as yourself. workplace and state pension, minus exemptions and deductions, I too will have no tax to pay. With the possible state of confusion and lack of English language speakers at the RD, I Hope to be applying for a TIN and filing a tax return in the new year.

i believe the RD will be extremely busy from 02 January. I wonder how many Thai/Eng translators they've taken on board.

You didn't mention this in your initial post ', so anything I bring in has already had substantial tax paid in Australia' which now puts a different light on your foreign income although I believe that obtaining a TIN is a must, whether or not you file a tax return. We'll have to wait and see what transpires.

Shouldn't that have read 'I have no intention getting a TIN, and will not do so until I'm dragged off to the county jail'.

What the article doesn't mention is that the cop pointed the gun at a security guard https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1868953227947126950

She said discussions for a pardon are ongoing and the timeline remains on track for their release after the New Year. The government also emphasized that the sentencing is unrelated to recent arrests of Myanmar nationals in Ranong. https://x.com/ThaiEnquirer/status/1868615171532554418

Furthermore Ex-convict-cum-former-premier Thaksin Shinawatra said on Friday, he is waiting to negotiate with "God" to live 17 more years. Thaksin is 75 at present.

Your understanding of Thai tax has been helpful to many members on this forum including myself. It's certain members, such as EK, that should be ignored. GL

And your response also made me laugh. If these so called checkpoints want to catch drink drivers then they should set one up in the province where I am. They would have a field day. Try to think a little more, if that’s possible.

All the years I have been residing in Thailand, I've never seem a checkpoint. Are they only set up at certain places and times? Some of these posts do make me laugh.

Thanks again for your response CM, that's what I thought. A trip to the IR next year, that's for sure.
