@Mike ******
I'm Civil Service Retiree not Military. I have BCBS Federal and Medicare A/B currently.

Couldn't pay me to live in California, have moved in and out of Virginia several times over the years. Usually no issue with them. But thanks for the heads up anyway. My issue is, why am I paying you tax if I'm getting no benefit from State services? Looking at Texas since most of what's left of my family are in New Mexico and Colorado.

Not aware of any restrictions about living overseas and drawing your Social Security. We are looking at moving back to the Chiang Mai area in about two years. Have been gathering information for this. I plan on keeping my Navy Federal Credit Union Account which my retirement check currently goes. Should get my first Social Security check this month. Have been looking at mail forwarding companies to assist with a U.S. address and I also don't want to continue paying State Tax in Virginia if I don't have to. A lot of stuff to do. 😉

I'm hoping my BCBS will carry over to Thailand. Haven't decided what to do about my Medicare. I know for sure it's no good overseas.

My wife and I are starting to prepare as well. She has dual citizenship, we already have property up near Chiang Rai. I have been following the visa suggestions. Quite frankly, once I get there, I don't want to have to travel to keep getting it renewed. Don't mind having to update it, but do not want to have to leave the country to get it done. I have seen several recommendations for visa services. Anyone have a favorite one or one to stay away from? I have a pension and health insurance. Understand my US Medicare will not work there, but my Blue Cross should be OK. What are Americans that have/had Medicare doing?

Sad to say sounds like a lost cause. He should cut his losses now.
