@Ken *******
US pensions are not taxable in Thailand. And neither are savings

@Tony *******
I think most people remit pensions or annuities so there's no tax payable in Thailand. No need to even complete a tax return

@Bradley ********
I'm 100% with you! All these friggin idiots, the doom and gloom internet trolls telling people they'll be taxed on pensions and savings! Jesus wept! It's the rich they're going after, not the friggin pensioners!

Don't do anything. There's nothing to prove or disprove until you are asked to provide information. What so many dummies don't realise is the changes to the tax laws are to go after the Thai dollar millionaires who generate tax-free income and have been bringing their money into Thailand using a loophole that has now just been closed. If you listen to the bar-stool experts or the online tax experts who are touting for business you will lose a lot of sleep. The Thai Tax Office are not going after pensioners funds. They could have done this at any time over the last 25 years but chose not to because it's too complex for virtually little or no return.

You'll need to look through the DTA pertaining to US/Thailand to find what you're looking for, but essentially anything you've paid tax on in the US will not be taxed in Thailand.

What nationality are you? Chances are any pension payments will not be taxed under the DTA in force with your country. Remember tax only applies to untaxed INCOME, not to savings. A lot of misinformation in being spread around the internet

You'd need to Google "visa agents" in the country you're in.
