The new destination Thailand visa, specifically tailored for “digital nomads” – people who work from anywhere – allows for a long-term stay to work and travel in Thailand. Interestingly, this visa is also suitable for those who wish to participate in certain activities or medical treatments in the Kingdom.
It was only at the end of last year that the current interpretation was announced, according to which foreign income imported into Thailand must be taxed in Thailand. Now the government is announcing the next bombshell: Tax residents are to pay tax on their entire global income in Thailand.
If you are looking for the right visa for a long-term stay in Thailand, you will probably come across the Thailand Privilege Visa. The new edition of the Elite Visa allows you a 5 to 20-year residence permit and luxurious privileges and services through Privilege Points. This is available to those who are able and willing to pay the necessary fees.
