Hello everyone. I'm 71 years old and retired. I live on my social security income. Can I relocate to Thailand on this income only and have only 2k in the bank? Need advice.

Thank you

After reading the Tax Treaty between the US and Thailand, it specifically states that social security income and govt pensions can only be taxed by the US unless you become a resident AND a Thai national. A tax resident who lives in Thailand greater than 180 days is not a Thai National. See Article 20 and 21.

Please advise... I am over 50 years old and in the USA now and planning for a stay of up to a year in Thailand and I am a bit confused on what my visa plan should be. Should I do a 90 day STV or a NON O-A. Here's my question on the STV 90 day will I be able to renew and stay for a year without leaving the country or for the NON O-A will my social security income which will exceed 65,000 baht monthly eliminate the requirement for a 800,00 baht deposit in a Thai bank? Thanks for the help!
