TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion revolves around the process of obtaining an 'unfit to fly' certificate for those in Thailand seeking to extend their stay beyond September 26 while on amnesty. Participants mention the need to actually be unfit to fly and the importance of relevant medical documentation. It is suggested that real medical issues, particularly those requiring hospitalization or upcoming surgeries, are key to successfully obtaining an extension. Additionally, a humorous interchange about using an injury as an excuse ensues, while another commenter shares they applied for a Buddhist learning visa instead.

You actually have to be unfit to fly, and one thing they seriously take into consideration, even if you have documentation from a doctor, is that if you can walk in and wait for your queue number to come up, then why would you be unfit to fly by the 26th? If you are recovered enough from whatever, then how much more recovered will you be by the 26th. Did you recently, in the last week, have surgery, or a similar invasive procedure, that will not heal up by then. The most successful medical extensions are being given to people with upcoming surgeries, or bed ridden in the hospital or at home, where the hospital contacts them on your behalf, because you can not travel. It is not easy to get just because you want to stay.

ignore Kool Breeze, he will exaggerate the impossibilities, because he wants to feel elevated above other farang. he's like samuel l. jackson in Django.

you can do it, it's a given most don't feel sympathy, but therefore it id also a given that some do.

fight on

if he follows your advise, he is going to waste lots of money. Are you willing to reemburse him when he finds out it was a complete waste of money following your advise...lololol. I seriously doubt it.

, you assume a negative outcome, again. truth is there are many positive examples as well. and in all truth, I don't see how you would know 3 people that tried this. you are far too unlikeable and judgmental for that to be believable.

you need to understand one primary point: people can make their own choices, choose their own risks, without you putting them down.

you don't have their interests at heart, you just want them gone and enjoy exercising your puny power, because your ego depends on feeling entitled to be here, and thus you need to make others feel like they don't.

you're a pretty sick puppy, bro. stop contaminating threads with your putrid intent

This is good advice. Do not try to apply for a medical extension in person. You get an agent to do it. You are too sick.

I have heard people rejected for that exact reason, even with good documentation from a hospital, you were well enough to walk in here, no extension.

Get a certificate from a hospital and present it at immigration.
