No those services won’t be legal. If you stay in Thailand for that period you can pay tax there and then use FEIE to not pay double to the US

- o1o1o1 2y agoOk, this may be true for US citizens who are taxed based on their citizenship, but what about other nationalities (I am not a US citizen)? The current laws in Thailand state that foreign sourced income is only taxed if it is remitted to Thailand (source: https://mahanakornpartners.com/overview-of-personal-income-tax-in-thailand/ https://mahanakornpartners.com/overview-of-personal-income-t...). So this should be an option, don't you think?
- eacapeisfutuile 2y agoSame, but residence probably always require a time period. I think it highly depends on your actual citizenship and what tax agreements they have with Thailand etc.
- o1o1o1 2y agoI am not a tax resident in my home country anymore, since I already migrated to a different country (UAE). I am also not trying to avoid becoming a tax resident of Thailand, but as the law seems to state currently foreign sourced income is not being taxed there necessarily.
