Who it applies to

People tracking their combined visits to Thailand during a calendar tax year.

The rule

The counter indicates the statutory day threshold only. It does not determine which income is taxable, how remittances are treated, or the effect of a tax treaty.

Counting the days

Combines recorded visits, including arrival and departure dates.

  1. Choose the date through which you want to count, then add your recorded visits.
  2. Use the counting convention above. Overlapping recorded dates in the relevant region are counted only once.
  3. Read the result alongside the conditions. Missing records and other eligibility requirements are not inferred from a total.

“The window follows the latest twelve months.”

This counter uses the calendar year. A rolling window and a calendar year can produce different totals.
