About the Thailand passport
Ranked #50 out of 200 in the global passport index, the Thailand passport offers more travel freedom than 75% of passports worldwide. Thailand citizenship is inheritable across generations, meaning children born to Thailand citizens abroad may be eligible to claim citizenship by descent.
Passport context
The top marginal income tax rate in Thailand is 35%, with capital gains taxed at Same as income. The country operates a territorial tax regime, taxing only income sourced within Thailand, with foreign-sourced income generally exempt. Expats who establish tax residency in Thailand and earn the bulk of their income abroad may significantly reduce their overall tax burden under this structure.
