  1. I usually send the request of RO papers by regular mail, sending the form and the relevant documents to Surat Thani office that is in charge for Phuket area. The certificates arrive, by mail, to my address after a few days. I doubt they can send by email but you may ask. If not, and if you are not in Thailand you could ask to send them to some friend in Thailand, to be later forwarded by your friend by email.
  2. Will be very glad if this info can be helpful for somebody, your Simple Tax Guide is a very commendable work !!! Moreover please note that the following is the form used (at least in Phuket area), to request RO 21 and RO22 : https://www.rd.go.th/region/01/fileadmin/user_upload/pak1doc/roor01-eng-cer/RA01.pdf
  3. The certificate of fiscal residence is called R.O. 22 and can be asked at a local Revenue Office. In my case (Phuket), they help me to fill up the form, to prepare the attachements (copy of all the passport pages to demonstrate how long I have been in Thailand) and give instruction to send that to Surat Thani office that will issue it and send to my address in a couple of days. I do not think it is necessary to file a tax declaration for getting the R.O. 22, this certification has no correlation with the tax payment, simply states that you have been here for 180 or more and so you are considered a tax resident. The first time that I got it I did not present any PND91, at present I am askingRO-22.pdf it every year but I am paying my taxes. An other interesting document that can be usefull is the R.O. 21, that states your declared income and how much did you pay for tax during the year. Here attached are two samples of RO 22 and RO 21 RO21.pdf
  4. As per an article in Phuket News dated February 7, which cites data from the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, during the year 2023, a total of 1,482,611 tourists from Russian Federation arrived in Thailandand, while a total of 36,426 arrived from Ukraine. It is certainly not easy to distinguish them from each other, but these are the numbers.
  5. The husband has the one year extension based on a initial non O retirement visa. The wife wants to come to Thailand and get a dependent extension following the husband's conditions. She is from Europe, and could enter to Thailand with the 30 days visa exemption. So the question is : to get a "dependent" one year extension is it necessary to have a previous 90 days non O visa or is it possible to start from a simple visa exemption ?
  6. Same thing for Italy, it is ten years that I file a tax return for my pension in Thailand, and I pay taxes that are lower than what I would have to pay in my origin country. Not so difficult......
  7. Thanks, in the case somebody could be interested, at the end I gave the cleaning and gardening job to Brown Starling, and the swimming pool to APK. For the moment I am satisfied of my choices
  8. Yes, they are still around, Mario's gnocchi are particularly good (I like them with Gorgonzola)
  9. Ah ah, salsa Prego does non exist in Italy, why not try some italian brand like Agnesi, Barilla or De Cecco ?
  10. I do not know in UK, but in my country the tax levels are different depending on the types of income. Pension and employment have different tax imposition from dividends, from intersts, from property alienation, from property rental, etc. So it should be better (but very complicated......) to transfer to Thailand only the incomes that have been subjected in the country of origin to high tax levels, and to be able to demonstrate it (even more complicated....)
  11. Yes, you are right, I had a version in an other language that is different......
  12. What do I mean with "DTA" ? For example, that one between UK and Thailand : https://www.rd.go.th/fileadmin/download/nation/english_e.pdf I have never seen in any official document that the Thai Revenue does not agree with the DTAs stipulated by Thailand and other around 60 Countries , and in any case it certainly does not have the authority to cancel any international agreement. If you read the articles 7 and 14 you can see that the income from immovable properties, including their alienation, is taxable in the country where they are located. I never said that, based on DTA, you can avoid completely and always to pay the thai taxes, I said that, in many cases, your DTA can save you from paying additional taxes (immovable property, and the recommendation to keep separate accounts was just an example). In some case, it can even help you to reduce your total tax expenditure. Obviously it depends on your DTA and the kind of income.
  13. How the income becomes yours could be important from the point of view of the applicable DTA. For instance generally all the DTAs state that income from immovable property must be taxed only in the country where the property is situated. In this case, if somebody has a property outside Thailand, it would be wise to use a separate account, in his country, where to receive this income and from where to send the money to Thailand. In the case that Thai Revenue asks something about this money transfer, it will be easy to demonstrate that it comes from a property that, based on the DTA, is not taxable in Thailand.
  14. I fear that many of those who are writing on this forum have very little information, if not zero, about what they are writing about.
  15. I have never read anything like this in any official or semi-official Thai document. To tear up international treaties, which are considered a supreme law in many countries and that are discussed and ratified at the highest levels of heads of government or states, an announcement from the Thai Revenue would certainly not be enough. But if you have more specific information on the fact that Thailand intends to unilaterally abrogate its sixty double taxation treaties, it would be interesting to see it.
