What should I do if my partner is unfit to fly and we may overstay our visa in Thailand?

Talk whit your embassy

As Brandon said, any advice depends upon your current stay, whether you’ve had any extensions and your passport. However, most likely, since you didn’t mention any extensions and assuming you have a passport with fairly generous privileges, you can simply go to immigration (he must go in person as well) and get an extension. If you have already had an extension, then you’d need to get a medical extension with documentation from the hospital.

The first step is to check the Thai immigration website to see the policies for extensions for your passport.

I'm sure they will understand ☑️

@Jonesx *********

you can get a "medical extension" if you take a statement of the hospital to Immigration

I think there is a team that come round in the hospital from the visa place fir you to extend ?ask at reception??.

Go immigration with proof from the hospital and pay the fine ,you may have to leave straight away though

It's been 500bths per day the last 20 yrs

No grief, I've done it loads of times.

When you pass through Immigration explain your position Take documents If need be pay the fine, no big deal

Maybe you can get a 7 days extension denied stamp? The 7 days start at the day of application!

Don't worry just pay the fine at the airport it's only 4 days you'll be fine

500 bht per day but take hospital evidence they maybe lenient

If your partner is hospitalised get them to give you a letter for a medical extension and take it tomorrow to get an extension and a normal extension for yourself if you are indeed still on a Visa extry stamp.

If he or she can walk.

Just get on the plane and fly out

Did you reported the accident to the IO as it’s happening, or immediately after, on a timely manner?

My friends were in the same situation, reported the incident and both of them were fine. That’s about 10 years ago.

What stamp are you currently on? If it's a visa exempt or tourist visa you can extend for 30 days at your local immigration office but you can only do this once. Otherwise your partner can talk to the hospital about getting a medical extension if he's unable to fly, not sure they would include you but would be worth asking if you can claim to be required to care for him

You don't say what passport you have, what visa you are currently on, if you've already gotten an extension, or give any information that will actually let us help you.
