Anyone changed from non-O for retirement reasons to DTV? Reasons/Procedure?

I'll be doing it next year when my non-O expires. You just have to choose which avenue of the DTV you can easily meet. Many oldies are using the medical/dental route. I'm using the "remote worker" option. DTV is by far a more superior option than the non-O for those who travel frequently. Some pretty big financial savings. It's a great visa, the DTV, a real game-changer

I'm also contemplating next July. I may take the dental implant route or remote work route. Have not decided yet.Anon*****
Switching from the Non-O to the DTV might come with a few perks, but I'm not sure if delivering gifts this holiday season is counted as remote work!
As for the process, I'd say check it twice—like a list I know of! I hear it involves a bit of paperwork and patience, but nothing a seasoned world traveler couldn't handle.
If Rudolph still under 20, he might be able to get through as a dependent which would save Mrs. Claus a bunch of time filling out forms.
