The 60-second version

Thailand exit starts with employer tax certificate and work permit cancellation. I close THB bank, export SSO history, and map India RNOR for any retained baht assets.

183-day rule ends on departure date

Thailand taxes worldwide income for tax residents — I obtain employer withholding certificate (PND.1) and file departure-year return if Thai-source income remains.

Work permit and visa cancel through employer; keep BOI / One Stop Service clearance letter for India employer records.

SSO contributions stop on last payroll — export member statement for insurance continuity proof.
