I’m doing a border bounce to KL tomorrow. I’m flying there and flying right back. Must I go through Immigration or can I just go wait for my next flight?  Thanks in advance!

TLDR : Answer Summary

When flying to Kuala Lumpur for a border bounce, you typically must go through Immigration, as you are technically entering Malaysia, even if you plan to return on the next flight. It's advisable to check specific airport policies or contact your airline for details.
