TLDR : Answer Summary

The inquiry seeks clarity on the current status of extending a medical visa until November 1st, specifically regarding the eligibility for a 60-day extension, necessary documentation like an embassy letter, and confirmation of fees. Additionally, comments highlight the importance of understanding the process, whether it involves acting through an agency or directly handling the extension oneself with proper documentation.

first we need to know;

Did you hand your passport and a pile of money to an agency who went and got a medical extension for you (probably from a province you don't live in from an office you don't use)

Did you get a letter from the hospital/doctor and go to the immigration office on your own and apply for the medical extension?

(y)

In that case you SHOULD be able to go to the immigration office and apply for a 60 day extension (without the embassy letter).

BUT

you should go to the office where you got the medical extension and ask them in person just to be sure :) Sorry but that's about the only way you'll know for certain. I'd go this week and ask them to make sure.

thank you. The immigration from Samui came to koh phangan last month so I assume it's the Samui office that issued it. I will go to tomorrow there.
