As a DTV visa holder, if you’re a tax resident (staying 180+ days in a calendar year), you need a Tax ID Number to file taxes.

For tax filing, provide documents like bank statements showing income brought into Thailand, payslips, freelance invoices, and evidence of investment income on any remitted foreign income.

If you need to file, we can help alleviate the stress of the process. We have different filing packages to suit every situation.

If you require further assistance, please schedule a call with our team – we’re here to help.

As a DTV visa holder, you only file taxes if you’re a tax resident (staying 180+ days in a calendar year). First, you will need to get a Tax ID Number and then file an annual tax return in April of the following year. If you rent out a property overseas for income, you may also need to file a half-year return in September.

We have more detailed information on the tax for DTV visa holders here

DTV visa holders pay taxes in Thailand if they are tax residents. You become a tax resident if you stay 180 days or more in a calendar year. Tax residents pay income tax sourced in Thailand. They also pay on foreign income brought into Thailand.

The tax rates are progressive, ranging from 0% to 35%. Non-residents pay tax only on income from Thailand, which includes income from local jobs or businesses. Remote work for foreign firms is not taxed if remitted into Thailand.

For more information, see our article on the tax implications of the DTV visa or book a call with our team to discuss your circumstances.

Yes. If you are in Thailand for more than 180 days in a calendar year, you are considered a Thai tax resident. Even if you have no current income, you should still obtain a Tax ID Number to ensure compliance. If you later remit income into Thailand, you will already be registered and ready to file.

Yes, digital nomads can utilise Double Taxation Agreements (DTAs) to minimise their tax liability in Thailand. Thailand has DTAs with over 60 countries.

DTAs prevent double taxation. If you are a tax resident, you can claim credits for taxes paid abroad on the same income. This lowers your Thai tax bill. For example, the US-Thailand DTA allows US expats to offset US taxes against Thai taxes. This can mean that you have no tax to pay in Thailand, but you still have an obligation to file.

We have lots of resources on Double Tax Agreements or, if you prefer, book a call with our team to discuss.
