Non-Immigrant O-A (Long stay)

If you are over 50 years old and wish to settle in Thailand, you may apply for a Non-Immigrant O-A visa. This visa has a validity of 1 year and may be extended for another year at any Office of the Immigration Bureau in Thailand, provided that requirements are still met.

You must make a deposit of at least THB800,000 in a Thai Bank, or have a regular income of not less than THB65,000, or a combination of annual income and deposits totaling not less than THB800,000.

This visa is individual and does not include dependents. If your spouse does not fulfill the requirements, he or she may apply for a Non-immigrant O visa (short stay). This is a single-entry visa that will allow the dependent to stay in Thailand for a period of 3 months, extendable up to 1 year.

Note that any foreign-national staying in Thailand without a permanent residency must report his or her stay every 90 days at any Office of the Immigration Bureau or Police station.

TAXES

To be a tax-resident in Thailand you must spend at least 180 days in a calendar year in the country.

Tax residents are subject to personal income tax on their income derived from Thailand and their foreign-source income remitted to Thailand in the year in which it is accrued. Income earned outside Thailand remitted after 1 year is tax-exempt.

Non-residents are subject to income tax on their Thai-source income.

Personal income tax is progressive at rates up to 35% for annual income exceeding THB5,000,000. Expatriates working on companies under certain tax incentive regimes (Regional Operating Headquarters (ROH), International Headquarters (IHQ), and International Trade Centers, ITC) may be entitled to be taxed at a 15% flat rate.

Dividends and interest are subject to a final withholding tax of 10% and 15%, respectively.

Capital gains are treated as ordinary income. However, those obtained from the sale of securities listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand or any other ASEAN stock exchange are tax exempt, though certain exceptions may apply.

Thailand does not have controlled foreign companies (CFC) regulations, so profits retained in foreign entities owned by tax-residents may not be attributable.

A 12.5% real property tax is levied annually on the rental value of the property. Inheritances over THB100,000,000 are taxed at a 10% rate, though reductions may apply under certain circumstances. A gift tax applies on donations of assets exceeding THB20,000,000 (10 million in the case that recipient is not a descendant, ascendant or spouse).

There are no taxes on net wealth in Thailand.

The V.A.T. standard rate is 10%, reduced to 7% until 30 September 2019).

Regarding corporate taxation, resident entities are taxed on their worldwide income at a 20% rate. SMEs may be subject to lower progressive rates, provided that paid-in capital and net taxable profits do not exceed certain amounts.

Entities approved by the Board of Investment may have tax holidays up to 8 years. Companies under The International Headquarters (IHQ) and International Trade Center (ITC) regimes may be exempted from CIT for up to 15 years, among other tax incentives.
