having health insurance for me is a insurance to protect my wealth. I only have inpatient though to cover the most serious stuff.

More than one or two cases. I know so many families that experience cancer, heart disease etc. Pretty much everyone I know has someone close with serious illness. And I personally endured spinal surgery.

Above 40 its madness to not have any sort of inpatient coverage .

your welcome to have your 800k sitting/rotting and depreciating in with low to no interest rate. While financial literates use an agent and make up the fee many times with returns on investment.

I highly doubt its illegal. Immigration like agents as its more effective for them.

It really depends on how long your trip is for. Anything under 6 months the exemption should be fine. Above 6 months they may start asking questions. At least less hassle with a dedicated paid visa. And indeed if you come regularly and qualify, go for DTV.

you can keep laughing and arguing if you like, but I can assure you i didn’t have to wait for my METV validity to expire before i got my DTV 😉 I also called the embassy in advance to verify 😘

Again, what you are saying is correct for long stay visas like ED, Retirement, marriage etc. Not for entry based short stay visas

With the visas and exemptions, i think 4 months is fine with exemptions + extensions.

Consider DTV if you plan more trips next few years though.
