I entered Thailand on a METV on 19 Nov 2021 and was stamped in until 17 Jan 2022. I then got my 30 day extension and was stamped in until18 Feb 2022. Due to the uncertainty about Covid extensions I returned to CW on the last day they were being granted and was given the extension until 26 Mar 2022. I'm on a UK passport with flights booked home to the UK on the 30 April 2022. I've been undergoing some major dental work over the past two years or so here and last week I had 4 new implants put in and my Dental surgeon says he is willing to issue me with a sick note and the Hospital issue me with an official letter saying I need to remain a few more weeks to ensure my implants have taken properly before I can return in October 2022 to get the teeth fitted. That is hopefully good news but I'm asking if it it also still possible that CW will grant me the addition few weeks I need without this as I'm a bit confused about whether or not "Covid" extensions are still being granted on METV's. Any advise or comments will be gratefully received.

My friend just had a major surgery and laid down at the hospital.

We came on a TR60 visa and our full 90 day is about to run out.

We need to apply for 60 day covid extension but due to health reasons she can not appear in person at the immigration office.

I have all her information and documents

Can I apply for her when I apply for myself? Is there any additional document required for not appearing in person?

TIA!

Hi tod i would like to know the process for one month extension if i get the letter from the hospital that i can not fly due to some medical reasons

My husband has a Dr's letter stating he is not fit to fly until October 25th.

I have a letter from the same Dr stating I need to stay and be his carer.

I have 3 questions.

First, what exactly is it that we should apply for?

90 day extension? 30 day extension, is it even called an extension if we are currently on amnesty?

Second question - when do we apply? Is it better to go now or wait until closer to Sep 26th?

3rd question - how difficult is it to get extra time based on medical reasons?

Advice is much appreciated 🙏

I have a question regarding my father.

He has a 1 year multiple entry type O marriage visa which was acquired from canada. It is set to expire Sept 18-2020. He was going to get a one year exstension with his ฿400,000 in his thai account.

July 23rd dad and my step mother were struck by a drunk driver fleeing a previous accident. My father and mother are now in bumrungrad hospital in bangkok. Dad has incomplete parysis and is looking at around one year rehabilitation.

I know this is a long story but feel I must add this to get to my point.

Insurance was slow coming so dad spent money from his thai account. Money is back in as of August 4th. This only gives him around 46 days with the ฿400,000.

is there such thing of a special circumstance, for tragic accidents?

I am hoping that we will still somehow get his one year exstension. As he will not be able to travel from the hospital.

Thank you in advance

Hi. Just wanted to post here off topic, because it's an emergency and I want to know if anyone else has this info or is in the same boat. (information needed BEFORE the 27th of July). I posted on Bangkok expats and was told here would have more resources to answer:

My dad has a heart condition and used to work for a well known University here. He retired this year and so his working visa was cancelled and he normally has been given by 27th of July to leave the country. His flight is booked for the 26th. However, we looked on the website and it said that there is an amnesty extension for tourists and foreigners in Thailand due to the ongoing covid situation. It has not been made official if this applies to all foreigners, not just tourists , and we do not know if my dad falls into this category of those allowed to stay until the 26th of September.

It's weekends and a long holiday and so all offices are closed, but the reason we didn't act before was because before we thought that he would be able to stay thanks to the visa extension announcement.... But now that information has mysteriously been removed from the Immigration website completely. It has disappeared and we don't know what to do. With his heart condition, if he catches covid, he won't survive.

I need urgent urgent advice. Please help. We need the information before he is expected to board the plane on Monday.... Is he allowed to stay? Does anyone have info?

I keep getting slightly different details in info from different people so I thought I’d ask if any one is SURE what the thing is.

This is what was in the paper about the REMOVAL of the official bureau statement :

A draft copy of the proposal for the visa extension request, which was approved in full, was posted on the main Immigration Bureau website. However, as of this afternoon the announcement posted has been removed. (See here.)

Of note, while the extension of the visa amnesty has been approved by Cabinet, traditionally it takes several days for the Immirgation Bureau to draft and publish its own actual order to bring such amnesties into effect. That is expected in the coming days.

Called by The Phuket News earlier today for clarification and confirmation of the visa amnesty extension, Phuket Immigration Deputy Chief Col Nareuwat Putthawiro was unavailable for comment.

Hi and thanks for all you do here. Im on a non O multi visa married to Thai. I needed to exit Thailand on 27th March but on 25th March got an in country 3 month extension for taking care my mother who had just broke her leg. The immigration officer told me i should leave and re-enter when the borders open if my mother managed to return to the UK. She did get back to UK and is recovering well. Do you think im covered to end of July if the law passes as this would be the best time for me to go as my visa is ok till late October.

Hi all, so I’ve a similar question before but a bit unsure now with the new exception that was passed.

My initial 30 day visa on arrival expires April 15

(Now I know I don’t have to go to the immigration until further notice)

However I could have a baby any day now (due date 4 weeks) I have a letter from my doctor to excuse travel ...

I’m still able to go to an immigration point to apply for that? (I’ve tried calling my closest but no answer)

Thanks 🙏🏼

I wonder if you can advise I will have been here in Thailand for 2 months on the 9th November on an entry visagiven at the airport. On the 8th November I need to be admitted into hospital to go through a complex spinal surgery not knowing how long the post-op and recuperation period might take, before I can actually leave to go on to Hong Kong. How do I manage to get an extension in this particular case? I'm already in a wheelchair and hard for me to move around. Thank you in advance. Ani Zamba

I think there are 2 types of Medical Visa, one if you come for Medical Tourism and another if you want an extension if you came on normal tourist visa.

Are this visas only awarded for emergencies? Or what about for example:

- Not strictly medical neccesary (removing wisdom teeth operation with checkups after)

- Cosmetic surgery

- Physical therapy

This ones I am not looking for:

There is also a Medical Visa for Asian people. There is also a visa for 50+. Medicla Visa for some special countries like Brasil and few other countries.

I saw for example this:
