As to the overnight-issue, I do not think the type of entry you have now would make any difference.  Hungarians and Canadians qualify for visa-exempt entries under the same general rule (not a specific bilateral agreement), so that should not be an issue.

 

There is no law or official published rule specifically stating you must stay out a night before returning to obtain a Visa-Exempt entry.  But, Visa-Exempts are granted by immigration, and they have published a set of limitations on their use:

Many have reported that some entry-points from Malaysia do enforce a "must stay out overnight" rule - likely justified by that document's wording. 

 

I do not recall a report from Wang Prachan - most we get are from Sadao or Pedang Besar.   Best to plan on needing to stay out the night, and be happy if you don't.

Hello Jack,

Thanks for that, I appreciate your time.

I use this border crossing quite often. A quick over and back should be fine. I have never heard of or seen them requiring an overnight stay. I went over and back in August of last year and had no problems. 

Thank you Kim!  Will try it out 

Hello all,

We are 3 people with a car that will be near Wang Prachan border and will need a visa run, 2 of the passports are on 60 Tourist day visas and the other 30 day visa Exemption, Canadian & Hungarian passports. Is it possible to get the 30 day visa exemption on arrival and not need to stay a night in Malaysia? I am getting conflicting information on this? Some say that returning the same day is not possible? 

Thanks for your help
