Can I extend a medical Visa for 30 days?

[Siddharta]

Hello, good afternoon everybody,

 

I am on medical Visa that expire on Dec 25th, I finished what I had to do but I would need to stay one more month till end of January or February max.

Is there a way to extend this medical visa at CW or via other legal ways for 30 days at least?

If this cannot be done, can I take a flight to Laos or Cambodia and return doing the regular 14 days quarantine in my apartment where I live with my future spouse?

I found several people gave me several answers and I ask here maybe someone like UbonJoe or others can give me an idea.

My goal is to return back to north America around end of January middle February.

Sorry to disturb you but I really do not know what to do.

Thank you for your precious help.

Why not apply for 60 day extension prior to Dec 25. 

Some are referring to this as covid extension.

You will do it at the temporary office located at Muang Thong Thani if staying in Bangkok.

Copy of your passport photo page, visa, entry stamp and TM6 departure card. The give you a affidavit to complete stating the reasons for your extension,

But...if you paid an agent for your medical extension...you may have to go to the immigration office where the agent got it for you...

 

You can try CW

Good Luck

Good point.

Many of the agents use KK office. 

The OP should check in passport which office his stamp was issued.

He could then have hotel do a TM30 in Bangkok if wishing to obtain extension at MTT.

Actually I don't know if this is a medical visa or no, here the screens:

[DrJack54]

OP, if your currently in Bangkok try and obtain extension at MTT few days prior to Dec 25.

If you book into  Bangkok hotel check if they will give you copy of TM30. 

You might not even need the TM30. Some people have been asked for one at MTT and some not. As usual not much consistency.

So you recommend to book a hotel in Bangkok to get a TM30? I live in a condo but I don't have any TM30. How long need the booking in the hotel? Do you recommend some hotel?

 

Ok, but maybe I don't need the TM30, how soon before December 25 could I go to immigration? I would like to secure as soon as possible.

 

Thank you!

That is not a visa.

 

It is an extension of stay.

 

You do nto have a "medical visa".

Aha, I supposed it. So I paid for a medical visa 3 months, and they give me an extension of stay 3 months.

 

Does this suppose some kind of problem for an extension of 60 days?

[Joe Nee Appleseed]

Are these latest Covid extensions going to be convertible to other forms of visa down the line?  Could I springboard to a Non-O from it later or is it a 'waiting to leave' category?

 

(I too paid an agent before the September deadline and am considering what to do next.  Those 90 days go fast!)

You could apply for the 60 day covid 19 extension.

If my extension ends the 25th of december, can I go the next week to the MTT?

After the 25th you would be on an overstay. You have to apply for a new extension on or before the 25th.

Yeah I know, I'm asking if is possible to go the next week, for example 7th of december is 18 days before, and I don't if is possible to extend at any moment, or need to wait to the last weeks.

At most offices you can apply 2 weeks early and at some earlier. You should be able apply next week since the 10th and 11th are holidays.

Best to have an appointment.  There have been mixed reports about it being required or not.

[Sathesh Kumar]

No

[Siddharta]

I went in Website of Immigration but in FB they look working till Friday.

I do not think is correct.  Probably they will close 10th and 11th of December.

I  have the same situation of the guys before, I payed 3 months medical extension that expire the 25th of December. I think if I go the 9th of this week or 14th (Monday) I will not have issues, but am not sure what office J or K ?

Because no one say "extension" see soon

When I try to do an appointment need to choose an option, objective/counter, I don't know which option is the correct.
