Why More Americans Are Choosing Thailand Over Florida for Retirement
The blurb about inexpensive health insurance is very misleading if not wrong, especially for seniors and older folks. If one ever wants to use medicare back in the USA then you must sign up and pay for Part B when eligible, i.e. age 65 or when you left other qualifying insurance, say from your employer. If you do not start Part B you get charged a 10% penalty every year you do not sign up for Part B so if you ever went back to the USA for Medicare, your premiums would be very high. Basic Part B right now if one makes less than ~ $100,000 USD Modified Adjusted Gross Income a year is $185/month. Suggest that anybody eligible should bite the bullet and pay it, even though it is not usable overseas (with a very few exceptions). In case you ever might return to the USA for health care, consider it insurance you pay along the way that you don't use until you need it Insurance costs in Thailand for senior expats is NOT cheap. And in some cases the plan choices are very limited or not even available. I am a Florida resident and have been to Thailand many times and do plan to semi retire if not fully retire very soon. I am 68. But the recent Tax law issues with staying in country more than 180 days in a calendar year are very concerning. -
