What should I do if my visa is about to expire and I can't travel to Malaysia due to COVID-19?

@Sa**

, I will try one final time.

You say you have one 30 day visa exempt entry so far this year (although it's in your old passport) which means you can get another 30 day visa exempt entry by land IF we can send you to a border that allows US passport holders to bounce out and back. (y)

IF you are in the central part of thailand you could bounce out and back at the Phu Nam Ron Border with Myanmar (as

@Lyn***

suggested) AND if you are in the south of thailand you can bounce at one of the water crossings with Myanmar in Ranong Province.

Either of those crossing points will let US passport holders bounce out and back for a 30 day visa exempt entry.

Good Luck, (y)

@Sa**

I tried, I truly tried to wring the information out of you that I needed so I could give you solid accurate advice on WHERE you could bounce out and back in to get a NEW 30 day visa exempt entry.

It seems you fought me every step of the way though,

and so alas, I wish you well, sincerely good luck (y)

May I ask...What is the visa you now have?

The real question IS; do you have two 30 day visa exempt entries so far this year by land?

Nope you were NOT told to go to the US embassy, you were told to contact your consulate and SEE if they offered the letter so you could get a 30 day 'unable to travel due to covid-19" letter. Which as an american you cannot :(
