BestBitterPhuket Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I am planning to buy a residential unit in Thailand and move here for a longer period of time. I would like to bring some of my household goods with me into the new house. I was told by customs, that because I don't have a proper long term visa, that I would have to pay very high duties. Anyway I plan to study the thai language, so I figure I could just as well get a student visa, but would that also make me eligible to bring the household goods (old furniture and kitchen things) in free of duty? Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 With things so cheap here why have the hassle, just sell what you have and buy new when you get here. Anything of any real sentimental value put in storage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurnell Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 My broker can facilitate a special 'night time clearance' of household goods, which is significantly cheaper than tax and duties. PM me if you need to know the details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
