Introduction to Personal Income Tax in Thailand
I like your reasoning and humility about your knowledge on this subject. I feel the same. I, like you, have an account here built over the years. However, since I am almost positive that my social security payment is fully exempt, I transfer 1 million thb from my Wise 'baht jar' to my Thai account each year. I don't need any more than that to live comfortably here since I own my house outright. Over each year I put money into the baht jar when the exchange rate is good. I NEVER use a foreign credit card here, only an ATM card from BBL. So my question was mostly about whether a Wise debit card transactions has visibility to TRD. I have chosen to play defense on the Thai tax situation. That is I retrieved and documented my usa bank balance over the last five years as proof that I had substantial usa funds well before 2024. I also keep records all FTT (foreign telegraphic transfers) into Thailand every year. I even went to my local BBL branch and had them provide records ,in great detail, of all my incoming transfers for the last five years. This included precise dates/ times and even the exchange rate of the transfer. I needed this early this year when immigration claimed I had to prove that my required 800k bank balance for conversion of my OA visa to O visa was from foreign sources even though it has been in a single timed account at BBL fir over 5 years set up specifically for that immigration requirement. It was lunacy for them to challenge its validity. BBL staff was happy to accommodate and immigration accepted their records. So I will not seek a TIN until forced to. At that point I will have documentation of years past to prove I owed no taxes here and thus cannot potentially penalized for not filing earlier. Other posters are correct: keeping detailed records is the best policy. As you say, I will watch the situation unfold but won't panic at all. ====/=========/====== BTW, my CPU is pretty old too. I got my first one in 1976, a KIM 1. It was a single PC board the size of an A4 sheet. But it had a real engine under that deceptively simple hood! 1Mhz 8 bit MOS TECHNOLOGY processor, 4k of UV Rom, and a full 1kx8 bytes of static ram as well as a 6 digit 7-segment hexadecimal display AND a 16 key keyboard. I did all the programming on machine language. Programs were stored on a cassette tape player. Who could ask for more? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MOS_KIM-1_IMG_4211_cropped_scale.jpg PS: I sold it on ebay this year for $1,900! -
