Hi, approx 6 months ago I also wrote into this group ref advice seeking a medical DTV.

I found it impossible to find a doctor to treat me under mental health. They all wanted to see me in person before providing any documentation for a DTV visa( I was in the uk and unable to do this).

What was worse was some of the comments from people on this group.

For clarification, I’m not in receipt of any benefit. And at 40 years of age I’m able to comfortably retire. But I do struggle with my mental health hence why I wanted to seek help in Thailand.

I’ve arrived here under different terms.

To help you I can say mental health can end up expensive here.

I initially attended Bangkok hospital and for my meds alone I think it was working out between 200-300 gbp per month.

I’ve now found a very nice doctor at the Red Cross hospital. Meds cost me approx 100 gbp per month.

I’m sorry to hear your lasik wasn’t a success. I also had the same surgery done approx 5 years ago with complications. Thankfully I can still see and I would never recommend it to anyone.

Please don’t let the minority in this group get you down. It’s clear there is a few people in this group that haven’t done well in life and like to drag people down in the process.

I hope you get what you need in Thailand and make a safe trip back to the uk.

Hi,

I had previously tried the medical route. Any enquiries I made the doctor wanted an in person examination first before issue of DTV.

Worked out a lot easier just doing MT.

I had looked into mental health in the form of counselling as a medical treatment.

Couldn’t find anyone who had been granted a DTV via this means.

Ended up using a different soft power

hi. I did see a post a long time ago on this group of someone who had but now can’t find it.

From the criteria it looks like you can. But I would like to chat to someone who perhaps has managed it before applying.

I have my fingers crossed
