ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
It is not possible to get a "medical visa" in Thailand; instead, you can apply for an extension of stay based on medical reasons. To do this, you need to obtain a statement and supporting documentation from a treating doctor and the hospital. Thai Immigration requires a legitimate medical need for this extension, and documentation requests for 90-day extensions are often scrutinized.

- Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Service to get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).
