I did not pay anything my last time opening an account.

She asked “do you have insurance?”

I said “yes”.

Conversation finished.

I have been to German dental several times now and I highly recommend them. They are in your area and highly regarded.

I did not do implants but crowns and I am very pleased. They have an on site lab that makes the products so no ridiculous waits between appointments to fit the new products.

I honestly couldn’t tell you why they are different and what qualifications are different for the two. But I do know this: Non OA requires insurance. Non O does not.

I have the Non O and have never had to show any proof of my insurance.

My kids have sent me multiple boxes that size from the states.

Shocking the cost of USPS was near $100. However I never paid customs here at all despite the contents being hundreds of dollars in value.

Conversely I have shipped from Amazon and other companies that package it like commercial goods and have paid customs of up to 500 baht on next to nothing in value.

I’ll have to look into that. Sounds so much easier.

I had the same problem. My CC company said they did not even see an attempt at chargers. So it’s definitely with PEA.

I tried Bank of America and a credit union card. But were denied. So I called and found out no attempt was made.

You are right. I did it. I had the non O based on marriage to a Thai and a work permit.

No idea why they would do that. They must not know the truth. My company did not as well and I had to literally teach them. In the end they consulted with an agent and found out I was right.

@R*

married to a Thai in America. Fought the marriage visa a few times. I’m now on retirement. Just too much BS. Not worth it (to me).

Additionally, we were told she only needed a permit if our stay outside of America exceeded 364 days.

I’ve never heard of this. My wife had a green card and we left and re-entered so many times. We lived outside of America for years and we would return within the 12 month time frame with nothing other than the green card with zero issues. This is new to me.
