ORIGINAL POSTER

My friends has a non immigrant O visa which expires in 2 weeks and he has been told he cannot extend and has to leave in 2 weeks 

He has been receiving medical treatment for an eye condition and has an eye patch and papers from the hospital to confirm he has to return for more injections in his eye

Anyone know if Chaing Mai immigration are receptive to this and if there’s any officer who is best seen there

TLDR : Answer Summary

The individual has a non-immigrant O visa expiring in two weeks and requires ongoing medical treatment. There's uncertainty about the possibility of extending the visa due to medical needs, with a focus on what Chiang Mai immigration may allow regarding their situation.

most every type O visa can be extended for one year inside Thailand as long as you meet the requirements. Mainly the financial requirement. As far as his medical condition, his doctor should be able to process the needed paperwork for a medical extension, if it is required that he be treated here.

He can probably get the same injection in his home country. I think it's unlikely he'd get an "unfit for travel" medical certificate. Why doesn't he simply extend his non-O visa?
