Visa concerns for upcoming trip to the US for Thai wife
One can see who are those that watch too much CNN and MSNBC, America's lowest rated networks. No worries. Your wife will be fine. A Thai friend just got her 10 yr VISA last week. The smear campaign happens when Trump does something to protect America, but when the aggressors are another skin color, or even the "same" color (a.k.a. Europe) the radicals and big money use it to say he is racist. -

Filing Tax Return Form for Foreign Income on Samui
This might be important if you have foreign income and not yet filed your tax return for 2024. I filed my tax return form today in paper at the Amphor's tax office in Nathon. No income tax to be paid; so, the kind cashier looked through the paperwork, typed a bit and out came my 0-baht tax receipt. "You need to file tax return again next year", she said with a smile. Sure, I know, it's not my first time, even I'm staying here as retiree. The reason I file on paper and not use online "E-filing" is that my transferred taxable income is over the limit, but I've already paid tax in my home country. Unfortunately you cannot use E-filing is you wish to claim already paid foreign tax deducted in your transferred foreign income – it might be a system or programming fault, or never the intention to include it. I had a meeting – or rather two – with the director of Samui Revenue Office about foreigners and income tax, especially for those of us that have already paid income tax in our home countries. There has been several AN-threads about income tax with statements both as "if you have already paid tax abroad, you don't need to file a tax return form", and that "I don't care and I'm not planning to file a tax return". However, the director said that all foreigners staying 180 days or more during a calendar year need to file for tax return, if the have any income from abroad, even if it has already been taxed. I cannot talk about other provinces and how they might do it with this new tax-thing, but this is the official status for Koh Samui or Surat Thani Province. https://samesame-butdifferent.dk/images/flytte-og-bo/PND90/2024-tax-rules_2.png https://samesame-butdifferent.dk/images/flytte-og-bo/PND90/2024-tax-rules_3.png I noticed that someone staying in Roi Et, last year posted about an affidavit for extension of stay based on retirement, where you should declare you pension details, including bank account number. This made me think that if the Thai government is serious about foreigner's income tax-thing, it might be a future issue when applying for extension of stay. So, you better get it done, it might be easy to do. Tax free allowances If you are 65 years old and your annual taxable income is under or close to 500,000 baht per year – don't forget that savings from before 1 January 2024 still can be transferred free from tax – you don't need to pay tax; but you still need to file a tax return. You have: 60,000 baht in personal deduction, 100,000 baht in expenses as 50% of income but no more than 100,000 baht, 190,000 baht deduction as being old, 65 years or more, 150,000 baht non taxed income, thereafter in steps beginning with 5%. If you don't have a TIN (Tax Identification Number) – which is same number used in yellow house book and on pink ID-card – get one. You can get it on 2nd floor in the Customs House in Nathon, opposite the SeaTran-pier. You can easily file your tax-report online with E-filing, link here to copy: https://efiling.rd.go.th/rd-cms/tax I use a browser with translation function, so I can translate the forms to English. However, if you need a text from a roll down menu, it is in Thai language. You can snap a screen shot of the roll down text and paste it in Google Translation in the Image-tab, and get a translation that way. Income shall be filed in P.N.D. 90/91... https://samesame-butdifferent.dk/images/flytte-og-bo/PND90/00_PND90-91.png You can save (record) everything while filling in the forms and return later to continue. In the screen shot above I have a "1 Sketch". There are different sections to file in, 40(1) is for salary and retirement pension, 40(2) is for other fees and freelance work, 40(3) for rental income, and 40(4) for foreign stock dividends... https://samesame-butdifferent.dk/images/flytte-og-bo/PND90/02_PND90_2024-online_Fill-in-money.png When you file an income, you need to tick "Overseas Payer". To be able to do that, you have to enter 0 in "Withholding tax"... https://samesame-butdifferent.dk/images/flytte-og-bo/PND90/03_PND90_2024-online_Income-earner.png So this is here we foreigners that have already paid income tax in our home country face an issue. We cannot claim tax deduction for that online. If you tape any other value than 0 in "Withholding tax", you cannot mark "Overseas payer", but are promted a Thai withholding taxpayer number. If you are 65 years or older, you can click on "Income exemption rights" at the bottom, after you filed your income, and deduct extra 190,000 baht... https://samesame-butdifferent.dk/images/flytte-og-bo/PND90/06_PND90_2024-online_Investment-income.png Furthermore in Part 3 you will have you personal deduction and other deduction, like spouse without own income, child deduction if you are married to the Thai mother, or eventual insurances... https://samesame-butdifferent.dk/images/flytte-og-bo/PND90/08_PND90_2024-online_Deductions.png Thereafter in Part 4 you will get your tax calculation... https://samesame-butdifferent.dk/images/flytte-og-bo/PND90/09_PND90_2024-online_Check.png If you end up with paying Thai income tax and have already paid tax in your home country – like me – you cannot use the online system to claim already withheld foreign tax refunded deducted from due Thai income tax of the same income. You will instead need to file a P.N.D.90 tax return form on paper, all in Thai language, and attach documentation for withheld tax. The latter shall be translated to Thai langue here on Samui, even that it's officially is said to be in English or Thai. If you cannot do that yourself and need to buy help from an auditor or tax-serve-agent, it might be worth just pay a smal amount of tax, if it is a few thousand baht, rather than paying for service and the troubles with documentation; it's however an individual choise. You need to check if Thailand has a DTA (Double Taxation Agreement) with your home country and find the article, or articles, covering your foreign taxed income. It is said that all DTAs are slightly different, so there is no general rule, apart from you will not be double taxed, if there is a DTA, but you might have to pay the highest of the taxes. Link to DTAs: https://www.rd.go.th/english/766.html If you are Danish, you can read more detailed about filing Thai tax return in Danish language here: https://samesame-butdifferent.dk/doc/flytte-og-bo/PND90.php
