Freelance income, DTV visa, and Thai tax compliance

Hello everyone,

 

I have a gig that pays me around $1,500 USD per month, and I usually receive the payments into my Wise account. The company that pays me is based in Singapore.

 

 

 

I'm considering getting the DTV visa and staying in Thailand for more than 180 days in a calendar year. My question is: would it be legal to receive these payments directly into a Thai bank account, issue invoices to my client, and pay taxes in Thailand accordingly?

 

 

 

I don’t mind paying taxes—I just want to make sure this kind of setup is compliant with Thai regulations.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance for any insights!

    Why would you wish to receive direct deposits into Thai bank account.

    Seems you would be opting for first category 

    1. Workcation (Digital nomad/remote worker/foreign talent/freelancer)

    Suggest you keep the DTV and any tax obligations separate.
