Is the border run to Malaysia still a viable option for visa extension?
I just heard something about border run via Malaysia, that it has become very difficult.
We have the 60 day exemption which ends on the 25th this month. My kids and I were planning on doing the border run via Malaysia, because we are down south and stay there for a couple of days and then go back.
So maybe we should do it via Vietnam unless there would be the same issue 🤔
Has anyone heard anything about this?

I think that would be the 30 day extension, but we are housesitting in Thailand during Christmas/new year, so than the 30 days will be to short and we still have to do the border runFrankie *******

Just use a land border bounce agency. They'll drive you there and back and make sure you don't have any issues getting out or back in.

did you fo a 30 day extension at an immagration office yet. I would do that before a border run 1900 bhtTahnee ***************
OP@David *******
I didn’t, because we got a housesitting option for 4 weeks in Thailand during Christmas/new year. So time wise it would be easier to do the border run at 60 daysBrandon ************
@Tahnee **************
no, I'm not familiar with southern Thailand. But even if I was I couldn't make any recommendations because your post doesn't say where you're locatedTahnee ***************
