Can I apply for a 30-day visa extension on behalf of my partner who cannot go to immigration?
Hello!
My partner can't physically go into the immigration office himself, am I able to apply for a 30-day visa extension on his behalf?
Thank you in advance 🙏

Answer summary
It is generally not possible for someone to apply for a visa extension on behalf of another person unless the individual needing the extension is incapacitated and can provide medical documentation. In cases of hospitalization, a doctor's note may be required, and the applicant may need to be accompanied by hospital personnel to the immigration office. Alternatively, hiring a visa agent for assistance is a practical option, as they can handle the process on behalf of the applicant.

OPDecided to use visa agent from Thai Visa Agent, they send messenger to pick up your passport from your accomodation and do it for you. 5500thb includes the immigration fee

might be easier to just pay a broker.

I’m not sure about a 30 day extension but I’ve done a 90 day report for a sick friend. No problem at all.

It's not possible unless he is in the hospital, you need to take photo of him in his hospital bed holding a News paper dated today, put in his chest and take photo at least 4side of images, then you need medical certificate from his doctor telling that he is not capable to go in Immigration and you go to immigration together with any hospital personal to justify that this case is genuine , if you comply this then you can get visa for your partner. But if you have other situation other than this.. immigration will not allow you to get visa for him. It already happened to my friend I am the one who go to immigration on behalf of him.

It'll cost you a little bit but a visa agent can easily handle this and you don't have to waste any time.

Nope he has to go there since it’s his passport…it’s not 1998 anymore in the immigration office 🤣🤣

If he is not in the hospital, I think they will expect him to be wheeled there. Once there, you can fill out most of the stuff, and he signs. I hopped on down on a walker with a broken leg with my gf. Her and an immigration officer did all the work. I was told to "sit here and take care of my leg". Also note that applying for a medical extension is very hard to do. I was told by the officer that after this extension she just did for me, it would be easier to fly out and back in if I was ANY WAY MOBILE than try to get a medical extension.
Mitchell *******
Ok. I was told interviews with doctors, pics taken of you at home etc.

They have changed the form for people who can not meet up in person!

AFAIK - no regulation change, only in-person will do, even arriving in an ambulance, check out a visa agency instead

Some of these answers make me laugh, she's looking for yes or no, but some people are total arse wipes, why bother replying if you don't know????

Phone your immigration office and explain the situation and ask advice 🙄
Graeme *******
If he is in the hospital, can get a doctor's note/certificate. If he is just T home will be difficult, an agent might be able to get it done for you.

thank you

Why not
Michael **********
why can't he physically move to the immigration?
Bob *******
@Michael *********
Do you need to know why?
Ivan ************
@Bob ******
if it's due to medical incapacitation it's possible to get an extension without going physically. Doctor needs to sign off on this that you can't turn up, it also needs photos/proof of your condition. It's relevant because that's one of the few situations you can get the extension without going in person. Generally, you need to turn up physically yourself and there isn't a way around this.Michael **********
@Bob ******
yes, so that I can eventually help. I was in a similar situation before. Any other questions now?Michael **********
@Darren *****
oh, so you are the special one? Now that you've posted your comment I'm sure this is going to be a better place. Thanks for your help, appreciated

@Bob ******
do you need to know how?Bob *******
@Michael *********
Yes. How did you get into immigration when you physically couldn’t?
Brandon ************
Normally only possible with a doctor's note.
Ivan ************
@Alexis *****
agencies will sometimes queue for you so you can come in just when you are needed, take the photo and go, but there's not generally a way to do it without physically going. One exception is if you are seriously ill in hospital and a doctor signs off on your incapacity, it is possible then but you need documentation and photos of your condition, it's not easy at all.Brandon ************
@Alexis *****
I don't have any experience with that so cannot speak to itActivity
