They are much higher than states that have an income tax. If you think you will remain a significant consumer even in retirement on of the no sales tax states might be a bonus.

Income earned in Monaco isn't taxable unless repatriated back to US. 47 minutes ago, RandyH 000 said: as one is not technically a citizen of another country if he keeps residency of 180 days in the country of origin ,as they remain a visitor , but not an immigrant ---- I don't know what this means. You don't become a citizen of another country based on how long you stay there, or how much or little you stay in the US. The US disfavors dual citizenship, and to become a legitimate citizen outside the US you are frequently required to renounce your US citizenship. In many countries you cannot own real property if you are not a citizen. I would research tax advantages of retirement in Thiland. They have created districts there that are supposed to provide a lot of tax advantages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mexico does not require you denounce it either. I know a few years ago there was a US Government official that had passports for half a dozen countries too.

tigerwoodKhorns Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I had considered the Philippines, but it is a no go at this point. Extrajudicial killings sponsored by a government and approved by the masses is a very bad sign. Perfect environment for a dictatorship to pop up.

The Philippines is straight south of Japan and a 23 hour trip from here, almost the same as Thailand. It's about two hrs longer. 44 minutes ago, tigerwoodKhorns said: I had considered the Philippines, but it is a no go at this point.

Yes, he is still very popular, but a lot of the killings had nothing to do with Duterte. A debate/conversation for another time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
