Hello, my daughter has her tourist visa expired since 30th of October, but she has hospitalized since the day before and we have a medical certificate.
What should we do? My guess is just by showing to the immigration at the airport with medical certificate we would not get the overstay stamp. Is that correct?
As she need to go out and we need to do a non O, could the overstay be a problem on that process?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The situation regarding an expired tourist visa in Thailand due to hospitalization is complex. Although the medical certificate may seem like it would exempt your daughter from penalties for overstaying her visa, it does not. Upon departure, she will be required to pay an overstay fine, which can reach up to 20,000 baht for overstaying over 40 days. It is advisable to bring essential documents such as her passport, medical certificates, and proof of her age (like a birth certificate) when dealing with immigration at the airport.
