Do I need to register with the Thai Revenue Department if I have no income but stay over 180 days?
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.

If you qualified as a tax resident but did not file, you may need to file back tax returns. The Thai Revenue Department can audit filings going back 5 years, and in cases of suspected fraud, up to 10 years. Penalties include a surcharge of 1.5% per month on unpaid tax and fines of up to 200% of the tax owed.
Our back tax filing service can help you get up to date and compliant.
