So good to know about the joint account being ok.

Thank you so much for sharing.

My US health insurance covered an emergency hospital visit.

While I was on a short trip.

I went to Bumrungrad in Bangkok.

The paperwork they gave me was easy to submit to my US based health insurance to refund me.

My travel insurance covered everything else outside the hospital visit as your US based health insurance is considered your primary.

Pay everything with the same credit card so you can easily track all the expenses.

And yes

Always get insurance coverage

Make sure to have health insurance, travel insurance anytime you are outside of where your primary insurance coverage is etc

I also keep an annual plan with a medical evacuation company

So in case need arises I can always be medically transported via medical transport plane to hospital at home country etc

Also I saw on here a person post about their spouse being their sponsor.

Is it a joint account?

In that case would you be able to submit the same account balance for both your application and your wife’s if you are both on the account?

I’m not sure as I thought each person would have to have the 500K in an account only with their name.

This is good to know.

I was wondering what happens with people who travel often.

Great post.

Can the Admin for this group Pin this post please.

So good to know you’ve seen it there.

One less thing to stock up and pack.

I started visiting Thailand long before Sephora and other big brands were even open there

so I’m used to packing an entire bag of most loved items for myself and gifts.

Didn’t think on my last few trips to even walk into Sephora and check.

Specific branded items that you are attached to.

Off the top of my head.

Feminine hygiene, supplements, cosmetics, specific sunscreen brands like the ones that are reef safe and do not contain ingredients that I want to avoid

Specific food products (example, organic, grass fed, gluten free, non seed oil containing etc)

As far as deodorant I prefer brands that do not contain aluminum or other ingredients that are not that great.

Right now I love Salt and Stone so I would have to stock up on that.
