What Should You Know About Getting a Tax Refund at Bangkok Airport?
🔸 Tourists visiting Bangkok should be aware that they can get a VAT refund for their purchases.
🔸 For example, if you buy H&M brand products at Terminal 21,
🔸 you can get a VAT refund if you spend over 2,000 Baht.
🔸 If you purchase H&M brand products for over 2,000 Baht, the cashier will provide you with an invoice for the VAT refund.
🔸 When paying, present your passport (in Singapore, they may also ask for your Gmail).
🔸 If you have a lot of purchases in Bangkok and need a VAT refund at the airport, check out from your hotel early.
🔸 Arrive at the airport about 3 hours before your flight.
🔸 The VAT refund counter usually has long lines and it can take around an hour to process.
🔸 Note that for amounts below 5,000 Baht, no customs stamp is required.
🔸 For amounts over 5,000 Baht, a customs stamp is needed to process the refund.
🔸 Without a customs stamp on the invoice, you will not receive a refund (No Customs Stamp = No Refund).
🔸 After checking in your luggage and getting your boarding pass, get the customs stamp before going through immigration.
🔸 Only those requesting a VAT refund for amounts over 5,000 Baht need the customs stamp.
🔸 For specified luxury goods, sometimes the purchased items need to be shown.
