Hi! Does anyone know the process of getting a medical extension on my visa, I’m meant to leave on the 4th , but in the past 2 days I’ve got a bad infection that’s left me unable to walk/ sit down & im on antibiotics. I saw a clinic, who visited my hotel room not a hospital. I don’t think I’ll be able to fly for at least another week, but I don’t want to commit to flights incase it takes longer to heal.
Thanks!
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking information about obtaining a medical extension for their visa in Thailand due to an infection that has rendered them unable to travel. Several comments suggest that to qualify for a medical extension, one typically needs to be admitted to a hospital and obtain a doctor's note certifying their inability to travel. It’s advised to secure a standard extension first if possible, and to gather all necessary documentation, including a letter from a doctor, to present to immigration. Additionally, the conversation touches on concerns regarding travel insurance and the feasibility of traveling while still unwell.
