Hello, I am a snowbird spending winters in Nokomis, Florida. There seems to be a discrepancy in thought between my fellow snowbirds about a rule that does or does not actually exist….

We are new to being snowbirds. Please tell me that there is a travel insurance plan out there which covers you for 150 days without having to come across the border every 30-33 days?

Here’s something I’ll throw out about the plate renewals; hopefully, the CSA will either know the answer or can get it. My wife and I have just renewed online for two years and have received e-mail receipts for the transaction…

I bought a car in Florida to leave there and purchased auto insurance with Geico. Now, Geico is telling me that they will not renew my policy unless I get a U.S. licence. Are there U.S. insurance companies that do not require a U.S. licence?

I read your comments on filing IRS 8840. If one files the form every year, you stated that one can stay in the U.S. for a maximum of 182 days….

We are planning a cruise departing from San Diego and sailing for five days at sea and then sailing around the Hawaiian Islands for another six days before departing for foreign ports. Would the U.S. Department of Homeland Security calculate the days at sea as being “in the U.S.”?

I go to the U.S. for six months each year and fill out all of the required forms, i.e. 8840. My question is if during those six months in the U.S. I decide to go on a vacation for a week or two to, say, Dominican or Europe, do they take that time into account, which means that I can stay for an extra week or two in the U.S. so that my total days would still equal 182?
