ORIGINAL POSTER

Question please. As a dtv holder planning to do our first border run soon after the 180 days is done. Is it possible to do my own border run without using a visa agency or would immigration be harder on us if we don’t use a agency? Planning to use the Wang Kelian Border for Malaysia.

🙏

TLDR : Answer Summary

A DTV holder can perform a border run independently without the assistance of a visa agency. The community suggests that there is no necessity to hire an agency, as handling the border run directly is free and manageable.
