Speak to the hospital to give you a letter stating you are unfit to travel. Immigration should extend your stay with that letter

if that is the case, I as a malaysian would definitely get an initial visa waiver, keep border bouncing and requesting for a visa waiver till I eventually stopped.

@Brandon ***********
Malaysia is listed under Visa Exemption and Bilateral Agreement, so it depends on what you are given at the border? Also, after an initial visa waiver, when you do a land border bounce (assuming it is not to your home country) will you be given a visa exempt or another visa waiver on reentry?

@Brandon ***********
So you can border bounce with an initial visa waiver for unlimited amount of times?

you have done 2 land border runs this year, on February and April, so you cannot legally do more land border runs. You can do it by air though, but your entry entirely depends on the immigration officer at the airport.

I failed to mention that Im from a neighbouring country and it applies to people from neighbouring countries.

Your first visa exempt do not count when you first enter the country. In layman's term, you can do 2 border runs in a calendar year.

1. Come in with a visa exempt via air or even land border (usually 30 days depending on country)

2. Extend at immigration (30 days)

3. Do a land border run (30 days)

4. Extend at immigration (30 days)

5. Do a land border run (30 days)

6. Extend at immigration (30 days)

7. Time to leave. (You could come in by air again)

Of course, all this if the immigration officers you meet go easy on your ass.

Come in with tourist visa.

Extend once.

Go out to the nearest country via land border.

Extend again.

Go out to the nearest country via land border again.

Extend again.

Time to buzz off by air and try coming in again. Keyword: TRY.

You can only go thru a land border twice in a calendar year (read: border run), unless you are from a neighbouring country. In your case, you have 2 months left.

Come in 30 days, extend at immigration 30 days, get out of thailand from the nearest border and come back in again 30 days, extend at immigration again 30 days, get out of thailand from the nearest border and come back in again 30 days, extend at immigration again 30 days, then back to your country of origin because you have used up whatever permitted in a year. Most probably gonna get questioned when doing this too often.

The problem lies with your embassy, they do not understand the meaning of an emergency passport. Embassies are there to help their citizens, not fuck shit up for them when they are in trouble.
