I’m not officially living in Thailand, I’ve been here 6 months and just applied for the 3+12 month Non O. I don’t have any plans at this point to return to the US, that could change but it would be just a visit. My Aetna agent told me if I need any medical treatment go to the ER. I do maintain a physical address in US.
I get my Medicare coverage through Aetna, they will reimburse costs for ER treatment. If admitted through ER for a hospital stay they will also reimburse the costs.
I was fined 1600b this past Monday because I didn’t notify immigration within three days of my border crossing entry. I couldn’t apply for the 1900b extension without first paying the fine.
