Hi I’m in Thailand just now and my visa runs out on the 25th of march, last month I fell down stairs and twisted my knee and I’ve had to get an operation on my knee. ACL operation and I’m going to be in Chiangmai for minimum 9 months for my rehabilitation at hospital. Can I in anyway get a 1 year medical visa while I’m here? Thanks
TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster seeks advice about obtaining a 1-year medical visa in Thailand due to needing extensive rehabilitation after an ACL operation. Responses indicate that it's unlikely to secure such a long medical visa, with most extensions being granted for a maximum of 90 days and contingent on proving inability to travel. Additional comments highlight that typical recovery times for ACL surgeries do not necessitate a year-long stay, and experiences from other users suggest that medical visa extensions are difficult to obtain for non-emergency situations.
