What documents are required to open a bank account in Thailand as a remote worker?

What’s that got to Do with my comment? I was just saying to the guy who was unaware he had to pay tax, that he’s in for a shock.

@Marb *******

fear mongering have you got any credible sources to back this up or is it just falang hearsay and gossip in an attempt to scare people

@Vanda *********

plenty of thai legal channels talking about it on the daily if you even care to do your own research 🤷‍♂️

@Marb *******

the same Thai legal channels that said herb would be illegal in January? Maybe read some credible sources just because they’re in Thai believe it or not doesn’t make it true, thought this was just common sense but hey!

@Vanda *********

so if tax lawyers aren’t a credible source define what is ? Very interested

@Marb *******

a credible source would be like a well known media outlet EG Bangkok post, not a Thai tax lawyer trying to sell his tax services lol

@Marb *******

Check this one



And here as well:



I take this very seriously. It means that 2025 might be the last year to enjoy the tax benefits of 0% tax offshore Thiland

@Oren ******

thanks for further proving my point ; In the sources you provided which say it’s a proposed taxation btw it states “Thailand’s Revenue Code would mandate that individuals who live in Thailand for 180 days or more would be required to pay tax on their overseas income,” you can’t stay longer than 180 days on dtv without leaving or renewal. So I’m really confused as to what your taking seriously if your not even comprehending the time frame of the sources you provided

@Vanda *********

“without leaving or renewal” lol you don’t even know the correct terms yourself. You do not “renew” the DTV, after 6 months, you can EXTEND it 😂 or leave the country

@Marb *******

you’re being pedantic in an attempt to hide the fact you bought into some rumors and now attempting to spread said rumors on Facebook.You replied to my grammar but had nothing to say about the completely incorrect point you sadly attempted to prove. Maybe if you spent less time correcting English people about their english grammar you’d be less inclined to pick up virtual Pom Poms and be a Facebook gossip cheerleader !

@Vanda *********

it’s not grammar, it’s a completely different thing, thinking it’s something you have to renew after 6 months is wrong, you don’t understand what the DTV is. Anyone who’s applied for the DTV is not going to stay only 180 days then leave. The whole reason people apply for a multi entry visa is so they can stay much longer, people border bounce for one day then come back. But anyway, you’ve been given sources and still crying so think whatever u want, not gonna argue with someone who thinks you have to renew the DTV after 6 months and that people are only gonna stay 6 months 😂 🤷‍♂️

@Marb *******

for the record ; renew is a synonym for extend, google is free and so is complete ignorance apparently.

Again I’m not getting into an English grammar debate with someone for which I doubt English is their first language, secondly you just said anyone who applied for the dtv is not going to stay 180 days then leave ? But the visa literally says you have to regardless of your return so I think it’s you that’s having a hard time understanding basic rules.

@Vanda *********

?! You think people apply for a DTV that’s valid for FIVE YEARS to only stay 6 months? Use some common sense now lmao..

@Marb *******

you’re saying use common sense but all you have to do is read. It says staying LONGER than 180 days can you physically do that on a DTV without any action ? No I can’t teach you comprehension you should have learnt in high school.

@Vanda *********

ah yes, the media!!! The media is always correct 😂

@Marb *******

ah yes Thai lawyers are always correct I forgot 🤣

@Marb *******

you mean tax lawyers that would benefit from gullible falang like yourself believing they need to get their tax in order ?

Anonymous participant Not true, I never heard 7 years ago when I came to Thailand about this word, not in Spanish nor in English. Maybe the word was "invented" 3 decades ago, but it became popular after COVID.

Anonymous participant You’re good if the people at the tax office can read your contract. They’re not required to be able to read and understand English at the level that contracts are written in.
