If someone is too ill to go to immigration what is the deal? Can someone go on their behalf? Email ? Do you need a doctors note? Asking for a friend.

Answer summary

If someone is too ill to go to immigration in Thailand, a medical statement from their doctor is required. A representative can apply on their behalf by presenting the medical statement, the person's passport, and a fee of 1,900 THB. They may also be granted an extension of stay based on the medical issues reported by the doctor.

Medical Extensions of Stay are maximum 3 months, but indeed depending on medical statement of the doctor. Some Immigration Offices want a second opinion an sent a doctor to check the condition of the patient.

You get from the doctor a medical statement and somebody else can go on their behalf with the passport and the medical statement plus 1.900 Thb fee and apply for the Extension of Stay based on medical issues.
