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

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about extending their stay in Thailand after their current medical visa expires on December 25. They are considering a COVID extension or obtaining a new medical visa that lasts until February 3. The responses clarify that both options are available for a fee of 1,900 Thai baht, and they emphasize that obtaining a COVID extension may be simpler. Additionally, details regarding the necessity of a letter from a doctor and the smooth processing of similar requests by others at various immigration offices are shared.

I had no problem to change from medical extension( from Ranong Gov Hospital), into a 60 days Covid extension( no letter), paid 1900 baht and I am under consideration till 29th December, Officer in Ranong Immigration told me 60 days from my application.

Was smooth.

The OP has given birth here in Thailand under a medical extension and her doctor can easily request an additional medical extension.

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.

Did you get a letter from your doctor/hospital and go to the immigration office on your own to get the medical extension? IF not what province was the medical extension issued from?
