Can I extend my stay in Thailand with a COVID extension or a new medical visa after my current medical visa expires?
Hello! I have medical visa until 25th December. And I want to stay after in Thailand.
I have opportunity to get new medical visa till 3rd February cause I can’t fly and travel.
But may be it will be easier to get COVID extension? Do I need to pay any taxes for this extension ?
Everyone can receive it?
My immigration office in Krabi
Thank you

no I went for a heart beating problem to check it in the hospital, doctor gave me a certificate for 30 days in Sept, then I went back for a follow up and the doctor at the hospital gave me 60 days and some medication.Immigration called the hospital to confirm it and thats it.
They were very helpful both in the hospital, both in Immigration.

Pay 1,900 Thai baht for a 60 day COVID Extension..
OR
Obtain a second medical extension for a cost of 1,900 Thai baht ...if requested by your doctor with a signed medical certificate from the Thai doctor/hospital.
