Hi,

I have a Non-Imm B visa and WP which is due for renewal in a few months, a Filipino teacher at my school has just told me I will need to show a tax receipt proving that I paid my taxes this year in order for me to get the WP renewed and visa extension, is this correct? I have never heard of this before.

Thanks in advance

That is correct, immigration wants also tax-receipes.

Yeap...

Yes you need to show a tax receipt. Your employer should be deducting taxes already from your pay and you should already have a tax ID number.

For info on personal income taxes see this website: http://www.rd.go.th/publish/6045.0.html

Even if your employer doesn't deduct taxes - mine doesn't - you still pay independently at year's end and collect a tax receipt. Hang onto all of them if you plan to apply for permanent residency as immigration wants to see at least three years of tax returns and receipts.

- Copy of Work Permit issued by the Ministry of Labour and alien income tax or Por Ngor Dor 91 (only in the case where applicant has previously worked in Thailand).
