Date: July 30th, 2025 11:58 AM Author: zippy cheese-eating legend Actually I just looked into it. If your main source of income is longterm capital gains/dividends from usa, and you are willing to pay usa tax only, which euro countries would not rape you? I mean countries like montenegro and Bulgaria have lower tax than usa, but you basically pay both countries double tax and then hope to get a "refund" via lawyers. Are there actual euro countries where foreign income is offlimit? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5756178&forum_id=2/#49142744) |

Date: July 30th, 2025 1:17 PM Author: obsidian trip rehab The ones I listed are good for tax.

Date: July 30th, 2025 12:01 PM Author: zippy cheese-eating legend I know Hungary doesn't charge tax on foreign dividends. But why would I want to live there? The only reason was that it was cheap and could fly from there to everywhere. But it's no longer any cheaper than Spain, i.e. apt in budapest costs a lot and might have 100yr old plumbing, restaurants more expensive than Spain.

Many of the countries have tax treaties so you're not double taxed. You should use AI to learn about each of my suggestions based on the income sources you expect to use.
Focus on beach places only if that's what you prefer. |

Date: July 30th, 2025 7:40 PM Author: zippy cheese-eating legend I can't even get a straight answer on which countries wouldn't tax me beyond usa tax, if i have purely u.s. dividend/long caps income. I.e. Spain would rape. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5756178&forum_id=2/#49144002) |
|
Date: July 30th, 2025 8:20 PM Author: obsidian trip rehab I gave you a good list of leads. Use AI to ask about whether any of the ones you would consider have taxation treaties. And ask what the taxes would be in the USA and the relevant country based on your projected income and sources. Specify you'd be a US citizen with a resident visa and would live year round in the other country
Otherwise, if you'd only be there less than half the year, I think a lot of places only tax income earned in country
USE FUCKING AI TO GET ANSWERS |

I was there and main advantage was that nonexistent hoa, no property tax, and don't need a car. Just go to tenerife/malaga/crete on vacation. But food is mediocre and prices overall no less expensive than Spain/Italy. A lot of people there diet on shawarma and beer because that's cheap. I.e. you have to fly to another country just to take a swim.. that's not upscale (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5756178&forum_id=2/#49143526) |

___________________
Countries to Consider
Costa Rica
Taxation: Costa Rica doesn’t tax foreign-sourced income, including pensions, for residents. If you’re a retiree with a pension from abroad, you’re generally exempt from local income tax on it. DTT Status: No DTT with the US, UK, or many other major countries, but this doesn’t matter since foreign pensions aren’t taxed locally. You’d only need to handle tax obligations in your home country (e.g., US taxes worldwide income for citizens, but UK residents can often claim exemptions under non-resident rules). Retirement Appeal: Offers a Pensionado visa for retirees with a minimum pension of $1,000/month. Low cost of living, excellent healthcare, and a stable climate make it popular. Pacific and Caribbean coasts are retiree hotspots. Double Taxation Risk: Minimal, as Costa Rica doesn’t tax your pension, and you’d only deal with your home country’s tax rules.
Panama
Taxation: Panama doesn’t tax foreign-sourced income, including pensions. This makes it a haven for retirees with income from abroad. DTT Status: Limited DTTs; none with the US or UK. Like Costa Rica, this is irrelevant since foreign income isn’t taxed. Retirement Appeal: The Pensionado program is one of the best, requiring a pension of $1,000/month (or less if you invest in property). Benefits include discounts on healthcare, utilities, and travel. Panama City and Boquete are retiree-friendly with good infrastructure. Double Taxation Risk: Negligible, as Panama doesn’t tax foreign pensions. US citizens would still report income to the IRS, but credits or exemptions may apply.
Thailand
Taxation: Thailand generally doesn’t tax foreign-sourced income, including pensions, if it’s not remitted to Thailand in the year it’s earned. Recent tax changes (2024) may require reporting for residents, but pensions often remain exempt under specific conditions. DTT Status: Thailand has DTTs with many countries (e.g., US, UK), but these typically assign pension taxing rights to the home country or provide exemptions. If no DTT exists with your country, Thailand’s non-taxation of unremitted foreign income prevents double taxation. Retirement Appeal: Retirement visas (Non-Immigrant O-A or O-X) are available for those over 50 with modest income requirements (~$2,000/month or a bank deposit). Low living costs, warm climate, and expat communities in Chiang Mai and Phuket are draws. Double Taxation Risk: Low, especially if you structure income to avoid remittance. Check specific DTTs for your country.
Uruguay
Taxation: Uruguay offers a 10-year tax holiday on foreign-sourced income, including pensions, for new residents. After 10 years, you may face taxation, but rates are moderate. DTT Status: Limited DTTs; none with the US, and a suspended treaty with the UK. The tax holiday makes DTTs less relevant for retirees during the initial decade. Retirement Appeal: Stable economy, high quality of life, and a residence program for retirees with passive income (~$1,500/month). Montevideo and Punta del Este are popular for expats. Double Taxation Risk: Very low during the tax holiday. Post-holiday, you’d need to review your home country’s tax rules.
Monaco
Taxation: Monaco has no personal income tax, so foreign pensions are entirely tax-free locally. DTT Status: Few DTTs (none with the US, a limited one with the UK). Since there’s no local income tax, double taxation is avoided unless your home country taxes worldwide income (e.g., US). Retirement Appeal: Extremely high cost of living, but ideal for wealthy retirees. Residency requires a significant bank deposit (~€500,000) and proof of accommodation. Top-tier healthcare and safety. Double Taxation Risk: None locally; only your home country’s tax applies.
Bermuda
Taxation: No income tax, so foreign pensions are untaxed locally. DTT Status: No DTTs with most countries, including the US and UK. No local income tax eliminates double taxation concerns. Retirement Appeal: High cost of living but excellent quality of life, English-speaking, and retiree-friendly. Residency requires financial proof or property investment. Double Taxation Risk: None locally; home country taxes may apply (e.g., US citizens). |
|
Date: July 30th, 2025 7:38 PM Author: zippy cheese-eating legend That's not a useful answer at all. Monaco is not really useful because it's so expensive might as well get taxed 50%+. The other countries are shitholes that are only appealing if you actually get 0 tax. As an American I would still pay American tax so don't need to live in a shithole.
