The baseline. Everything else on this page is measured against Apple Thailand.

2 more notes
  • Coming home with a new laptop or phone? Anything over the 20,000-baht allowance goes through the red channel: no import duty, but 7% VAT.
  • The 14″ MacBook Pro with M6 has a Thai price, but no Thai release date yet.

Japanese (JIS)

Apple's own stores in Japan stopped tax-free sales for tourists in 2022.

4 more notes
  • Resellers like Bic Camera and Yodobashi still refund the tax. From 1 Nov 2026 you pay full price and claim the 10% back at departure.
  • A US keyboard is a free option, but only as a custom order.
  • Japanese iPhones always play the camera shutter sound while in Japan, even on silent.
  • apple.com/jp only delivers inside Japan.

🇸🇬Singapore

Buy in a physical Apple Store and claim the GST back at Changi: roughly 6% after the agent's fee.

3 more notes
  • Online orders don't qualify. Spend at least S$100 and fly out with the goods within two months.
  • A Thai keyboard is a free build-to-order option on the online store.
  • iPhone Air and iPhone Duo are eSIM-only. When checked, a new iPhone Duo order was quoting late-January 2027 delivery.

Nothing to claim

Mac keys

US English

No sales tax at all, so the shelf price is the final price.

2 more notes
  • The dual-physical-SIM iPhones are gone: current models take one nano-SIM plus eSIM, and Air and Duo are eSIM-only.
  • Chargers have UK-style three-pin plugs, so bring a travel adapter for Thai sockets.

🇹🇼Taiwan

Zhuyin

Taiwan refunds VAT to tourists at participating stores (about 3.8% after fees), but I couldn't confirm Apple takes part, so it isn't counted.

  • A US keyboard is a free option, but only as a custom order.
  • apple.com/tw only delivers inside Taiwan.

Apple says Apple Intelligence doesn't currently work on devices bought in mainland China.

4 more notes
  • China's departure tax refund returns about 9% at participating stores, but I found no sign Apple Stores take part, so it isn't counted.
  • iPhone 17 and 18 Pro take two physical nano-SIMs. Air and Duo are eSIM-only, so check your Thai carrier's eSIM works on a China model.
  • JD and Tmall often undercut Apple, but the best deals lean on a national subsidy that needs local eligibility.
  • Apple China says the M6 MacBook Pro goes on sale only “after approval.”

How the numbers work

Apple list price, tax included×Bank of Thailand rate−Tourist refund, if any+7% Thai VAT, if declared=What you pay in ฿

Prices come straight from Apple's online store in each country on 28 Oct 2026: each chip's base price plus Apple's own price for every upgrade. Colour and keyboard don't change the price; resellers, carrier deals and student pricing are left out. A tourist refund only counts where Apple's own stores are confirmed to give one, and Thai VAT is worked out on the receipt price. Apple changes prices without notice, so check before you fly.
