Hello. I am a digital marketer living in Thailand. I am paid affiliate commission to my overseas bank and brokerage accounts and am looking to protect against the forthcoming overseas income tax which I understand is due to take effect Jan 2024. I have set roots in Thailand with schools, car, property etc and moving is currently not an option.

Can anyone please recommend the best structure to avoid or minimize tax liability on overseas income while living in Thailand under these new rules? I understand the tax will likely apply to remitted funds only, but would also like to protect against global taxation in case they decide to go that route.

I’m considering registering an offshore company in low / no tax jurisdiction such as Cyprus, Hong Kong, Seychelles or Belize, using dividend payments to reinvest offshore while remitting only minimal funds to my Thai bank to cover living expenses.

Does this structure offer sufficient protection from any worldwide taxation Thailand may impose? Are there other structures or jurisdictions worth considering?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.

Check out Labuan + Malaysia (Co in Labuan 3%) and residence visa in Thailand (free) - should be tax free for offshore funds.

Is Labuan tech (web-3 infrastructure friendly?) (ai friendly?)

Sophia: Yes.

Does being a non-resident director bring up any issues?

Sophia: No. Labuan allows 100% foreign ownership.


Is there any perks by being a director of a Labuan company (i.e ability to easily reside in Malaysia?)

Sophia: Yes, Director can apply for Labuan 2 years Expatriate Visa and reside in Malaysia.


Can Labuan be established as as subsidiary to a BVI or similar?

Sophia: Yes. It can also be vice versa.


Is Banking access easily achievable for operational costs? (EUR)(HKD)

Sophia: Yes, most banks offer these major foreign currencies.

Costs in establishing & ongoing?

Sophia: min. USD10,000 depending on your level of engagement from us. It would be great for us to get on a call to understand your requirements prior to providing you a realistic quote.
