ORIGINAL POSTER

My friend entered on a tourist visa, went on amnesty and then got a "medical" extension of stay valid until the end of December. Can he then, in December, apply for an "unable to travel" extension. He's a UK citizen.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A user inquires if their friend, a UK citizen currently on a medical extension, can apply for an 'unable to travel' extension in December. Comments suggest that if the medical extension was obtained through proper channels, then applying for a COVID-related extension should be possible. However, complications may arise if the medical extension was acquired through unofficial means.

Okay, I'm going to use this post to respond to EVERYONE who has a "medical extension".

IF you had a letter from a doctor or a hospital and went to your own immigration office (as in the one in the area you live in) and got a medical extension you shouldn't have any problem getting an "unable to travel due to covid" extension

BUT

If you handed your passport and a pile of baht to someone who GOT you a medical extension (most likely from a province you don't live in or use) there is a HIGH chance you will have problems getting an unable to travel due to covid extension at your immigration office.
