Expect days of going back and forth to your hospital and immigration trying to find out what is needed. Don't assume it can be done easily.

@Kata ***
this is happening all over. What you could now is write that explanation, and send it to your embassy along with the doctor note to request a supporting letter from your embassy. They have the power to issue you one Kata ****
I am in very similar situation and I have visited them last Friday and I have been told "no letter from embassy, no help, no rights to extend".
