Individuals on SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) can generally be outside the U.S. for up to six months without losing their benefits. However, if they stay outside the country for more than six months, they may need to provide proof of continuing eligibility and could risk losing their benefits. It's important to check with the Social Security Administration for specific rules and any exceptions that might apply.

ok. Then best to check with the immigration office where you plan to get the extension and ask about their TM30 requirements.

Do you plan on getting a 30 day extension on your next entry ?

Non O does not have a Healthcare requirement, Non OA does.

as Michael Millsaps wrote, all expats are unclear about their Thai tax liabilities because Thailand has yet to provide much of the details. I would suggest you have a plan B to retiring to Thailand for most of the year. (Less than 180 days in Thailand and the rest in another country or countries)
