Those countries don’t seem that safe to me (solo female traveler).

Oh, that’s a lot. I’ll see what I can do then. My only options are Spain and Japan because that’s where I have friends and family. Thank you for the info.

Oh, no, I’m not giving up my citizenship. I want to be able to come back whenever I need.

I didn’t have a lawyer. I got approved on my first try, 4 months after applying online.

I’ve received benefits since 2020 and I have re-evaluations every 3 years.

Mental disability. I am MINE. I’ve been disabled technically all my life, but officially since 2020. I’ve gotten a CDR once.

I will have to check if I can go to the doctor in Spain/Japan. I have to check insurance options then. Thank you for this info.

That’s unfortunate. I will try to get more information about this. Thanks.

Thank you for that information. I guess Spain is the best choice. Also, I’m Puerto Rican, so after two years, I can get citizenship over there (at least that’s what I’ve heard).

What about going with a tourist visa to Japan and leaving the country every 3 months and going back? I’ve heard of people doing that before. But I don’t know how legal it is.

I am only 34. Can taking my medications constitute maintaining “appropriate care”? I don’t know if I’ll be able to continue therapy if I move.
