Need not fit to fly medical certificate from govt. hospital

[ilms]

When I was at my local IO this morning, a foreigner presented a medical certificate stating that she was not physically able to take a flight at this time. Her cert. was from a private clinic and the IO insisted that she needed to get one from the government hospital in order to use it for extension of stay purposes. I'm not sure what the actual regulation is but those needing to use medical certificates should first check with their respective IO to see what they require.

The official rules don't say "government hospital", but they say "hospital", so that a private clinic isn't accepted isn't really a surprise.

But as somebody already mentioned in another topic: If you are able to show up in person at an immigration office, why should you not be able to fly? There are probably not many diagnosis which would allow you to do the one, but not the other.

Come.on Thailand, why making things so difficult for foreigners that are already in the country and are spending money, why not introduce a 1,3 and 6 month extension for a fee within the country? It's a win-win situation, you charge a fee and get some money, and the foreigners can stay longer and spend their money, what do you have to loose? And if you think that someone is working illegally here then just show a bank letter that States you have income, pension, etc from abroad or you already got money on your account which isn't made in Thailand.

 

It's time to make it easier and more convenient for us without having to jump through all those hopes, or do they really prefer we are using agents?
