Hi Everyone,
I'll be coming to Bangkok from Vietnam, where I live, for surgery (surgery can't be postponed til later). I'll have a Medical Treatment visa, which should be valid for 60 days and eligible for a 30 day extension, for a total of 90 days.
It will be difficult to get back into Vietnam and may take some time, so after the 90 days on the MT visa, what are my options?
I believe getting a letter from my doctor could help with a further extension, perhaps?
Are there other options, such as changing to another type of visa? Getting a job and work permit?
Thank you for any advice, I've only ever had a tourist visa in Thailand :-)
