John Stanners no last time they refuse a same day border run but they were accepting a new visa exempt if I had staid 2 nights in Malaysia. I went to Penang cause it was better to get 90 days.
I am in Malaysia now. I passed through Sadao border. The officier mentioned to stay 3-4 nights in Malaysia.
I’m thinking of going to Padang Besar tomorrow instead to try to get a visa exempt after spending 1 night.
Would being refused the exempt would make me have a red refused stamp on my passport which would have negative consequences for future visa requests? Or would getting refused would have no impact but to have wasted time?
I meant border bounce. I didn’t meant having a tourist visa but a visa exempt. It will be the second time If I get a stamp so it’s still possible as you said.
no I didn’t try to do same day after they told me they wouldn’t give same day? I just went to Penang for a tourist visa because they told me I had to stay overnight in Malaysia.
