Thai banks may not only require a certificate of residence to open a bank account. Some require in addition a long term lease or yellow book. Research your preferred bank’s requirements.

Is the 180-day tax residency threshold in Thailand limited to the calendar year or can I split it over two years?

Pete *******

Yes the Thai tax year follows the calendar year so as long as you don’t spend 180 days in a calendar year within Thailand you will not become tax resident.

Does Thailand tax US pensions?

Pete *******

General statement: Pensions are assessable for Thai tax when remitted by a Thai tax resident. Section 40:1 Thai Revenue Code.

However certain types of pensions are excluded from taxation in Thailand via the wording in country specific DTA’s.

IRA and 401k payments ARE taxable when remitted as a Thai tax resident.
