ORIGINAL POSTERHi all, so I’ve a similar question before but a bit unsure now with the new exception that was passed.
My initial 30 day visa on arrival expires April 15
(Now I know I don’t have to go to the immigration until further notice)
However I could have a baby any day now (due date 4 weeks) I have a letter from my doctor to excuse travel ...
I’m still able to go to an immigration point to apply for that? (I’ve tried calling my closest but no answer)
Thanks 🙏🏼

You will need a medical certificate signed by your doctor requesting Thai Immigration grant you either 60 or up to 90 days Medical Extension due to your pregnancy and unable to travel...you are under Medical Care.
Take that's along with the usual forms for an extension...fee 1,900 Thai baht.
For Medical Extension
You need ONLY:
-passport
-copy of passport front page
-copy of stamp/visa page
-copy of TM6 form arrival card
-filled TM7 form extension application
-medical certificate from doctor
-two photos
Possibly TM30 proof of filing

Just so you know
You do NOT have a 30 day visa on arrival :O (because there is no such thing),
if you showed up here without having bought a visa from a thai consulate before you got here and were stamped in free for 30 days you came in on a 30 day visa exempt entry stamp :)

you COULD go apply for an extension of stay based on medical reasons and it could be granted for up to 90 days at a time.
