If I want to apply for the medical visa and/ or extension, and I now have an M-type visa so I go to Chomchurree 1-stop office on Rama 4, would I apply for the extension or med visa at 1-stop office or have to go to Changwattana?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry is about whether a person holding an M-type visa can apply for a medical visa or an extension at the Chomchuri 1-stop office or if they need to go to the Chaengwattana office. Comments indicate uncertainty around the procedures for changing visa types and extensions, highlighting the possibility that applications for a medical extension might need to be handled at Chaengwattana, and suggesting that immigration officers have discretion over these matters.

That is something I guess you're gonna hafta check on yourself. Never heard anyone going from an extension off a type M visa to a medical extension.

Just to be clear, when you say extension you mean the annually renewed M-type visa after getting the sticker-format master visa. That right?

Ok cool, all input is welcome. Thanks

I think the medical extension would be done at Chaengwattana because they have a medical are (in the 90 day report room Section A) that handles those.. BUT I bet they'd have you cancel your extension from Cham Churi.

I don't know, and that's why I said you'd have to find out on your own sorry

so it seems I have to leave the country for a Non-M, right? I was hoping to be able to take care of it here. No way to do that?

The extension of stay as well as the change of certain type of visa is solely

at the discretion of the Immigration officer.

wonderful--how do i get it in English?

why would you want to change extension type if you already have one ?

I see your surgery is elective, and 4-5 weeks recuperation, BUT would you be unfit to travel? That is the only way you would get a medical extension

I will ask that they delay canceling but it's not likely
