wow. Thank you Ross! I am progressing a lot with my application and really hope the officers read through all of my files.

@Lee-Ann ******

you have misread me, and likely are hallucinating. I have not said I have any issued visa. I arrived on a visa exemption, started treatment, and I'm looking for tips on getting the DTV because I will return to thailand for treatment often. My 5 months treatment plan for mental health that I will use for the DTV is being supplied by my hospital, and the gap in treatment from June to perhaps September is explained by my departure for surgical treatment in the UK. You cannot know my situation better than me.

@Banks *******

thank you so much!

@Lee-Ann ******

the government pays my rent. I moved out of my property, so my housing element is removed and I am just getting the disability payments. This is about £1000-£1100 a month, universal credit and PIP (no housing). It adjusts monthly based on your entitlement. The income i have shown is that the government was paying me £1800-£2100 for more than a year whilst I was unable to work.

@Lee-Ann ******

you have the wrong information, perhaps because you misread it, made assumptions and my previous post is no longer up. I am in Thailand now on a visa exemption to get the treatment plan. I have to leave in a week, and apply for my DTV to be issued in January 2026. I am only getting 5 months of treatment scheduled, because I have a surgery in June in another country (the UK). I am going to return to Thailand sometime after that surgery and continue medical treatment for my other ailments. As I have spoken to immigration officers, a long term medical treatment plan is the requirement and I have a clear reason why I want to leave Thailand early after I'd have gotten my DTV. It is now Monday and I should be finalising my talks with the hospital this week.

@Lee-Ann ******

I am already in my first month. I need 5 additional months treatment plan. Dec -June 1st that is 6 months

My return to the UK in June is to attend a scheduled surgery. I will stay in the UK until September or October, but I really can't tell. I don't know the outcome of my second surgery. I only have my return ticket booked for May 2025, and my intent to go back to Thailand in the end of next year for follow up medical treatments. Hence my wish for a DTV visa

Anonymous participant 992 thank you so much. I haven't been outside since I arrived in Thailand other than two no detour return trips to the hospital. Posting on the group has been my first interaction with other expats and my first post was not received well. It swarmed a lot of angry far-right wing political leaning comments and I was determined to prove their assumptions are entirely false. After a commenter recently revealed to me he is indeed a *nazi* I just stopped trying to convey my point with that person. I'm anonymous. My focus is on getting the visa. It is sad he was unkind. But lots of people here have been very helpful and kind.. I remain determined to get a long term visa!

@Nick ***********

they have been really kind and understanding with me. I wish to organise my documents and remain hopeful for a good result

@Greg *******

compensation for medical negligence is protected and I was aware the respondent who I had brought a claim against wished to settle in June of this year. I also informed my work coach around July, it is expected to be a settlement above 16.5 thousand British pounds. I received the full settlement 2 weeks ago. £30,000. No interruption with my benefits due to compliance with the laws and my continued entitlement. What article do you want to write Greg? The government didn't remove support for a 21 year old who received personal injury compensation?
