Implications of working in Thailand virtually.

[Maha Sarakham]

Hello All - 

 

Working for a US employer now, recently been offered the option to work fully virtually.  I do understand there are tax considerations if you work from another country.  

 

Does anyone have any experience with doing this?  I would most likely fly in for a month or two at a time, get our fill of the place on Koh Samui, then come back home - most likely would not want to stay permanently.

 

I have done some reading online but it seems there is so much bad information out there when it comes to taxes, especially post-covid when all the rules with virtual work from other states/places is changing so quickly.  The exodus out of California to WA/TX/FL comes to mind...

 

Thanks for any information on this matter, much appreciated.

If you are only staying a month at a time I wouldn't worry about tax implications. it's as if you are on holiday.

You only are required to register for Thai tax if you stay more than 180 days a year. If you are just visiting nobody knows and nobody cares.

...and if you are being virtually paid no need to pay virtual tax (at least until you cash out your virtual earnings).
