Hello, Are there any recent reports, are things still the same since I was last there?

He Don it again.

No MDAC needed to enter Malaysia at this border, it was requested months ago because I put a post up about it but they've stopped it for now. The "Fee" of 2000 baht to come back the same day is paid on the Thai side at Imm departures, no agents are involved.

My last Non-O multiple entry 90-day stamp expired this month, so I traveled to the Wang Prachan border in Satun to obtain a 60-day Visa Exempt. I explained that I wanted to return on the same day and was informed that a fee of 2000 baht was required. After paying the fee, I received a ticket number which I had to present on the Malaysia side and again on the Thai side upon arrival. Everything went smoothly. I inquired about the frequency of doing this, and I was told that currently, I can do it as many times as I want, but the rules may change in the future. I hope this information is helpful to some of you!

Still on my 90-day stamp from a Multi Non-O so I haven't been back there yet but need to go back at the end of this month. So if you or anyone goes to Wang Prachan before then can you update me on the latest please, cheers

Has anyone been to the Wang Prachan border in Satun recently, can anyone confirm if the "Fee" still needs to be paid to come back the same day on Visa Exempt?

The Satun border about 2hrs from Hat Yai has been okay for me on my Non O multi. I was there last month again. I've never had to pay to do a border hop on the same day BUT they did charge me 1300 baht when I was on Visa exempt to come back the same day. Has anyone been there recently on Visa Exempt is that still the case?

500,000 baht to stay for 5 years isn't required. People can use a guarantor. The flood gates are open indeed.

What does this part mean? - " or having a guarantor of not less than 500,000 baht according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. " So someone can use family or friends as a gurantor for the financial requirements for the visa?

I was at the Satun Wang Kelian border last week and didn't have to pay a fee to return on the same day. I currently have a Non-O multiple-entry visa, but before that, I had to pay 1300 baht to return the same day, when I was on Visa Exempt status.

The latest 60 days visa-exempt tourist stays are delayed. - Pattaya Mail Like most media, Pattaya Mail jumped the gun by stating that the 30 days on arrival by air, land and sea was doubled to 60 days at the beginning of the month. We apologize for our carelessness. The statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has to be confirmed by various bureaucracies prior to implementation. The Ministry’s September 1 start date for the new DTV (Destination Thailand Visa) and the reduction in medical insurance required by O/A retiree visas and extensions of stay is also unconfirmed. Both subjects could be delayed further if linked to a “reconstruction” of retiree visas as suggested in the original press handout. https://www.pattayamail.com/latestnews/news/the-latest-60-days-visa-exempt-tourist-stays-are-delayed-462315

I visited the Wang Prachan border in Satun today. I went through the same procedures as last time but was informed that the requirement has been lifted for this border crossing. It is now only mandatory to go through these procedures when arriving at an airport. Therefore, everything is now back to the way it was before.

For Accommodation, I chose OTHER For the Address in Malaysia, I put N/A For State and City, I chose Perlis and added 02000 for a Perlis Postcode After submitting, you will receive an email that says - Auto-Reply: Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) - Registration Acknowledgement.

I had to do a 90-day border hop for my ME Non-O yesterday. and as usual, I went to the Wang Pracahn border in Satun. To my surprise, you now have to register your details on this website - https://imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/mdac/main before you stamp in on the Malaysia side. It's pretty straightforward until they ask for details about where you will stay in Malaysia, similar to the Laos visa. I had no intentions of staying there so just put N/A on the form for hotel details. The form can't be completed unless you add a postal code so I added 02000 for Perlis. After submitting you will receive an email that says - Auto-Reply: Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) - Registration Acknowledgement You then show this to Malaysia Immigration with your passport and then they will process your stamp. All the info you need is here - https://imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/mdac/main Just wanted to give anyone going to Malaysia a heads-up about the new rules.
