Question 1

I live in Thailand with my Thai wife and our two daughters. I have a one-year retirement visa. My nationality is Danish. I have a yellow book and a pink Thai ID card. My income comes from my Danish pension schemes. My pensions add up to 75,000 Baht each month after tax. In Denmark, we use our personal registration number as a TIN-number. Will I need a TIN-number issued by the Thai Inland Revenue office?

Yes you will need a Thai Tax ID Number (TIN). You can get this from your local revenue department. If you do need help with this, we do have a service to acquire the TINs.
