Getting a TIN

Hello,

I have tried to get a TIN while not having to pay tax in Thailand which is your case as well. Tax offices of Jomtien, Bang Lamung and Sattahip refused to give me one.

You need to apply in person at the Revenue Department office that has jurisdiction over your residential address. In Bangkok, you can apply at any area revenue office or branch office, regardless of where you live. In other provinces, you should apply at the area revenue branch office with jurisdiction over your area of residence .  

Required Documents

    1.    Form L.P. 10.1

This is the official application form for individuals. It’s available only in Thai and must be obtained and filled out at the tax office .

    2.    Passport and Visa

Bring your original passport with a valid visa or visa exemption stamp.

    3.    Proof of Address

Acceptable documents include:

    •    A rental or lease agreement (ideally for six months or longer)

    •    A yellow house registration book (tabien baan if you have it)

If you’re using a lease agreement, it’s often required to be translated into Thai. Additionally, you may need a copy of your landlord’s Thai ID card with their signature .

    4.    Additional Supporting Documents (if applicable)

Depending on your situation, you might also need:

    •    A letter from your landlord confirming your residence

    •    A letter from your bank stating the need for a TIN

it is free, just difficult if you do not speak Thai. I have done that for clients before, but we stopped doing it. We are ThaiLawOnline.

Great info, thank you.

I will bring my Thai girlfriend with me and try to gather all the documents that you listed

Do you think a bank statement with my name and address on it would be acceptable as a proof of address? My bank in Denmark has accepted it.

It did not work, they did not want to issue a TIN until I have been here at least 180 days, or until I have to file a tax report.

Talked to one law firm and they confirmed this policy. Talked to another and they could help going through the Bangkok Revenue Office and their fee was 7.500.

Decided to challenge my banks and inform them that I cannot get a TIN at this point. So far 2 out of 3 have accepted.
