— medical extension —
Hey everyone! Anyone got a medical extension on their visa before and know the process to get one? (Preferably in CM)
Was in a hectic bike accident and broke my leg/toe. Still can’t walk yet and unsure if I’ll be able too by the time it hits October.
Trying to figure out what my options are.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻
TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for obtaining a medical extension in Thailand can be challenging, particularly following a serious injury such as a broken leg. Generally, you must demonstrate that you physically cannot leave Thailand, which often requires being hospitalized or having a doctor's letter stating your inability to travel. Discussion highlights vary experiences, including the difficulties of getting such extensions unless confined to a hospital. Many recommend contacting your airline for assistance in travel and checking with immigration for necessary paperwork, as some have successfully obtained extensions with sufficient medical documentation and proper processes.
