I have decided (right or wrong) to wait until immigration tells me that to stay another year requires filing taxes in county. That will decide it for me.

Why risk it by using your last and only option hours before departure. I went to the re-entry stamp office at Suvarnabhumi at 10pm on January 26th to find the office locked up tight. It’s not open . Safer to do it a few days or a week before at your local immigration office.

December 2022. With US passport at the Seoul Thai embassy mine was pending for 3 weeks. No contact or information for all that time. They probably only have 1 person who is proficient in English.

@Glenn *******

you probably contacted the only person in Thailand who uses email.

@Mark ******

your question tells us you know that you are in danger of being denied entry on arrival. We know that too. Why don’t you just get the proper visa for your intended purpose?

@Matthew ********

so far, I have refrained from being a fb spelling freak. It has been challenging though.

United Healthcare Medicare advantage plan covers me worldwide. In my case, I paid the Thai hospitals when leaving the hospital. A few days later I submitted my online reimbursement claim. About 3 - 4 weeks later, the reimbursement check arrived in the mail at my US home. November to January for the hospital visits and all have been reimbursed to me as of February 11th.

@Tony *********

You are correct. So in that case, a Medicare advantage plan would be better for US citizens that travel abroad.

@David ****

I read the “Terms and Conditions”. I am not shocked that they paid because they established the rules. They won’t ask for a refund because I am following the rules set forth by the insurance company. The difference is that I actually read the fine print.

@Joseph ******

thankfully, I am not committing insurance fraud.
