Negita43 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Maybe been asked before but so many pages to browse. In 2024 If I am in Europe for 180 days, come back to Thailand and before year end I am in say Laos for 10 days (total 190 days - not in Thailand for 176 days (leap year). Does that establish "non tax residency"? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackGats Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 One thing to keep in mind: when you cross a border, only either the day of your arrival in the country OR the day of your leaving the country counts, NOT BOTH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well actually no. Thailand counts any part of any day, according to stamps in a passport. The UK on the other hand counts where you are at midnight. It is easily possible to be tax resident on two countries, on the same day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you at midnight? Waiting to board? Most flight I took from Bangkok have been close to midnight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An 11pm departure on long haul can leave you without residency anywhere that day, ditto crossing the date line can also be interesting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackGats Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Incidentally, in most EU countries the number of days mentioned is 183, not 180. Probably in order to make allowances for flight times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farang baa Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Yes you qualify for a non tax residency in Thailand.Not surexwherecin Europe—but most countries have a double taxation agreement with Thailand—that means you pay tax there and wont pay in thailand—cannot be taxed twice on the same monies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Requires an aggregate of 180 days, so not a Thai resident tor taxation purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john donson Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 so all the chinese and russians buying condos and not staying half a year are not extorted 25-35% extra on top in exchange for absolutely nothing as people who spend here all year, seems fair, right....
