Hi,
My mom came on a 6 months Multi Entry tourist visa. The validity of the visa was till end of May. So we planned a trip out of the country and coming back to use the visa for another 60 + 30 days till end of August.
Now we couldn't leave the country and her METV expired and she's good to stay till end of June due to the tourist visa extension. But this is 2 months less than originally planned.
She's undergoing cancer treatment at Bumrungrad and needs these 2 more months at least.
What is the best course of action in your opinion? Is there a way to extend the expired visa for medical reasons?
Go to Ho Chi minh and apply for new 6 month tourist visa with documentation of hospital that she has ongoing urgent treatment (they should give it in that case I guess)? But no one knows if we'll be allowed back in in July
Thanks everyone for your help
