What are the current tax implications for expats transferring savings to Thailand after January 2024?

This is an extract from the OECD model convention on which DTAs are based, often with some modification to the wording to suit individual country's situations. Unfortunately the section on pensions has been excluded from some countries DTAs, most notably the UK, so UK pensions are taxable in Thailand

Every country has its own DTA with Thailand. All I know for sure is Australia, NZ, US, Canada and Germany pensions are only taxable in the country in which they're paid. In these cases there is zero assessable income and hence no tax return is required

Not knowing which country you're from I don't know. You need to read the DTA relevant to your country which determines if your pension remittances are assessable income in Thailand

@Matthew ********

Which is why doing it by mail is the best option. Follow the instructions and it's fail-safe. I use it every time

The UK Double Tax Agreement with Thailand does not include the standard article on Pensions and Annuities, which means UK pensions are assessable for tax in Thailand (if transferred into Thailand). It mentions only pensions for "Government Service" - in other words only civil service pensions are exempt from taxation

The same rule appears in many DTAs. US, Canada and NZ amongst them. I think it's only UK that has stuffed up very badly

No. As far as I know all superannuation pensions are through the employer. You can now choose which scheme to join (that's a relatively new law) and provide the details to your employer.

Don't know what country you're from, but Australian DTA the pension is only taxable in the country where it's paid, so tax credits don't come into it which is just as well as Aussie pensions are tax free after 60. I'm also an Australian Tax Resident, so the DTA gives precedence to that over Thai Tax Residency
