Medical Visa Extension

After my AC Joint surgery I would need further treatment. My hospital adviced me to do the medical visa extension (Got the letter from doc). Anyone knows how to apply for that? Does anyone have a Website or Checklist for required documents?

Thank you very much!
Answer summary
To apply for a medical visa extension in Thailand after surgery, you need a letter from your hospital detailing the duration of required treatment. You can get an extension for up to 90 days, but if the letter does not specify a long-term treatment period, you may receive only a 30-day extension. Required documents include your passport data page, current visa/entry stamp, a completed TM7 application form, a passport-sized photo, and the hospital letter. The cost for the extension is 1900 baht. It's important to note that extensions can be difficult to obtain if immigration believes you are fit to travel.

What you'd apply for is an extension based on medical reasons.

It can be granted for up to 90 days at a time.

The letter from the hospital has to say how long they require you to get treatment or you'll just get a 30 day medical extension.

The documents from the hospital are what you require and you just go to your immigration office with copies of your passport data page, your current visa/entry stamp, a filled out TM7 application for extension and a passport sized photo. The extension is 1900baht.

Know that at some offices it's NOT an easy extension to get issued. If they think you can travel AT ALL, they can/will deny you. The wording of the hospital letter is critical

This is what's in the clause that allows those extensions

Thank for the fast reply! Does the extension also work if I’m already on a 30 day extension visa?

no issue at all,

you just can't be on an overstay to apply for the medical extension

That aspect should not be an issue. If you qualify you qualify.

This is the information from the Bangkok Immigration Office site. It may or may not be the updated and completed list (even for Bangkok).
