Are taxes lower in Thailand if I renounce my US citizenship?

Steve *******

@Marty ********

that could be wrong but either way - it’s not cheap and you’ll need citizenship elsewhere. With the 90k exclusion in place most retired expats don’t have to pay any tax as long as they don’t exceed the exclusion. After that it starts at top rate (thanks Bush)

not true. You’ve always had to report all income to the IRS. FATCA is online and takes about 5 minutes. The intent is to catch big fish. For the rest of us it’s not a big deal.

Renouncing US citizenship triggers a payment of roughly what the US thinks you will owe in taxes for the rest of your life. Ouch.

What are the best recommendations for an agent to process an O X visa in Thailand?

Steve *******

that’s what I figured. I’d have to top up the bank account and jump thru a few more hoops. I didn’t use an agent for my O non immigrant. I probably will for this. I saw someone recommend thaivisa but over on Reddit there’s some pretty strong statements about the owner being a salubrious and the visas being somewhat dodgy.
