Piero, excellent format. My comment is about health insurance. I have an "non-O, retirement visa" that I get yearly since 2013. Never required to show health insurance on my yearly renewal and 90 day reporting. I used to include a multiple entry too but now I seldom travel especially during this pandemic so, I opted not to include my multiple as it is not worth it, I'll just pay as I go per travel for my re-entry requirement. Does anyone out the has the same as me, no medical insurance? Appreciate any comments for clarification.
