I booked a rt flight to Kuala Lumpur to activate a new Dtv entry. My flight back to Bangkok is 3 Hours after I land in KL. Does anyone know the process: will I have to go out of the arrival terminal and to the departures gate for the in/out stamps? Or can I just stay in the terminal and go to my “connecting“ flight?
TLDR : Answer Summary
When traveling to Kuala Lumpur for the purpose of activating a new Dtv entry before returning to Bangkok, you must exit the arrival terminal, pass through Malaysian immigration to get your entry stamp, check in for your return flight, and then go through immigration again to exit Malaysia. Staying in the transit area is not permitted for this process, as you need the necessary immigration stamps. Some travelers have encountered scrutiny from immigration officers when returning to the airport shortly after arriving, so it's recommended to be honest about your intentions and possibly consider extending your stay.
