All up in the air right now.

Other posters advising to keep money at home country are on point. Bring in what you need ideally just pension money. Make sure your home country is covered by a double taxation agreement.

Best guess is you’ll end up paying something. Your pension will not be taxable. Anything over and above that brought in may be taxable if it wasn’t taxed at origin. However - who knows.

Bottom line- if you can handle paying something tax here you may want to reconsider moving here since undoing that would be a hassle.

There’s a rare (expensive ) loophole for Americans but it’s very expensive.

they will. The purpose is security screening. They already do it based on the airlines providing ticketed information before you depart. They will extend that to everyone having to do a simple online authorisation before a ticket is issued.

Honestly as long as they keep it relatively simple and on line no big deal. Don’t know why people get all twisted about it. Don’t like it? Don’t travel

It’s just not worth screwing around with. Park the 800k and forget it until you change visa.
