On DTV, can we exit to Malaysia and come back on same day? Or we have to spent days?

Has anyone had experience with a good Visa agent in Malaysia for DTV application support?

A referral would be greatly appreciated

Hi! I’m currently in Thailand and I see that e-visa application is now available in Malaysia. Has anyone done it for the DTV visa and was the process faster than when applying in the embassy directly? I cannot find the way to take appointment for my application so I wonder if I should go to Malaysia and do the electronic application for there.

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?

Can you still apply for soft power DTV visa in Malaysia in person?

I'm a US citizen. On round the world trip currently.

I flew from Bangkok to Malaysia to exit Thailand so I could apply for the DTV Visa.

Am I misunderstanding something -- do I need to be physically in the US to apply for the DTV through the e-visa option?

Have no intention of flying back to the US this year.

First time visa runner. Going into another country (Malaysia) how to exchange money? Do I bring many crispy 1,000 THB notes and exchange at one of the exchange counters or take money out of an ATM? I have Bangkok bank.

Hi,

I applied for an e-Visa in Malysia.

Is it possible to fly to a different country(Indonesia) during Visa approval and then fly to Thailand from there?

I would probably fly from Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand on the way back and reimmigrate in malaysia if necessary.

Could that lead to problems?

Ok, so now the Thai embassies and consulates in Cambodia, Malaysia and Vietnam have switched over to the e-visa system.

That means you must apply online to use one of those places. You will no longer be allowed to attend the embassy or consulate in person.

As for them the system is new we won’t have any information about typical processing times for a while yet.

If you’re applying through one of them soon then please post your experiences here so we can try to gain an insight.

ATTENTION ALL MEMBERS;

**EDIT; (Oct 8th)

All three countries (Cambodia, Malaysia & Vietnam) are all online on the eVisa system.. !!

The following Thai consulates in S/E Asia will go to online eVisa applications ONLY starting the 8th of Oct.
