Thai tax tangle: Expats warned of new rules on overseas income
I went to the tax department in Pattaya to get my TIN. I didn't bring my bank statements or tax return in the USA with me since I wanted to file online. They told me if I get the TIN, I need to file there and the tax would be 5000 baht. She said I don't have to file if I don't want to. I asked what if I don't transfer any money into Thailand for the year? She said don't file a return. She cited that the government is lazy and not likely going to enforce it and I only need to do it if they give me a problem getting a new visa. Kinda wacky hearing this considering that we must get a TIN even if we have no income to report simply because of the 180 day rule. But to get a TIN, they require a tax filing to be done and won't do anything if we have no money coming into the country. Talk about confusing! I've also had significant income over the years prior to 2024 which could be brought over without requiring it to be on the tax return but have no clue what happens in the case of an audit or difficulty with obtaining a visa. I get my DTV online, anyway, so I don't expect there to be an problems with that. Again, "government is lazy" is what the lady at the tax office told me. Many people went in front of me who seemed quite displeased with the 5000 baht minimum and I guess many ended up leaving without bothering to file. I'm hoping that I'll get the TIN in the mail as expected and just be able to file online next year and hopefully not have to pay again. I suspect the 5000 minimum might be a payoff to them for doing the work but my gf did point out it said 5000 owed on the form. Probably still BS. -

Lula’s Visit to Vietnam Marks a New Era in Strategic Partnership
File photo for reference only President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's visit to Vietnam marks his second visit after 17 years and the first state visit by a foreign leader to Vietnam in 2025. This highlights the deepening friendship and trust between Brazil and Vietnam, underscoring Vietnam’s appreciation for its ties with Brazil. The visit occurs amid global changes with cooperation remaining a key focus. Latin America, including Brazil, has shifted its economic model towards diverse cooperation, positioning itself as a significant global economic growth contributor. As a leading nation in Latin America, Brazil actively strengthens its global role, particularly engaging in South-South cooperation and multilateralism. Vietnam and Brazil have cultivated a solid relationship since establishing diplomatic ties in 1989, evolving into a Strategic Partnership by 2024. This partnership is marked by regular high-level exchanges and strong collaboration at multilateral forums. A robust trade relationship has developed, with Brazil being Vietnam’s largest trading partner in Latin America, accounting for $8 billion in trade by 2024. The countries' economies complement each other, opening avenues for enhanced cooperation in trade, agriculture, energy, security, and environmental protection. President Lula’s visit reaffirms Vietnam's commitment to a foreign policy of independence, multilateralism, and integration, and its intent to strengthen ties with Brazil and Latin American partners. The visit follows the elevation of their bilateral relationship during Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's 2024 visit to Brazil, reflecting mutual determination to bolster their strategic partnership. This will usher in a new chapter for their relationship, enhancing benefits for both nations and contributing to regional and global peace, stability, and development, reported Nhandan. -- 2025-03-28 -
