the government approves 6 month medical leaves for claimants of benefits without pause to their entitlements, it is a non story. I'm here for medical treatment.

@Greg *******

what part of this trip is a holiday? I am currently at home and have been for the past 11 days since I arrived. I have only left my house twice to go to my hospital. I haven't even gone into a 711.

@Wannikea ********

I will be okay with 5 months. It meets the requirements.

Thank you, I will try my best to go back there!

Anonymous participant 243 yes I had lasik surgery complications!

@Pete ******

agreed however my last post it was clear some users developed their own narratives that I'm able bodied and getting the government to pay for my trip to Thailand. I am receiving disability benefits abroad.

@Hydra ******

looking to get Medical DTV. Limited knowledge. Have medical complications / mental health issues (anxiety), receive $2200 USD from government each month – expected to reduce to $1200-1400 each month, currently have saved $34,000, and treatment plan for 5 months. Already in Thailand on exemption and have started treatment.

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

thank you Nick! An immigration officer in Bangkok has a minimal understanding of my medical conditions and history, but I was only directed to apply for a medical visa, not the DTV which is what I want. There is a brief mention that you can get DTV for medical reasons, but no information further. 😄 I really want to try, and if I'm given a different visa instead, it is okay.

I am in Thailand at the moment already having started treatment.

@Wannikea ********

my work coach told me i have to come back every 5 months to continue receiving financial support. But potentially. With some grants that I am in the process of being approved for, I could do a full year in Thailand.
