Another Visa Question

[joka]

Hello all,

I have been trying to keep up with the fine points of the new rules, but I am still not sure of my situation.

I 've been doing the monthly visa runs for a few years, and finally went for a tourist visa in Penang in December. I left the country for a few months, now I would like to return. I have already used the 90 days (oct-dec), but does the tourist visa reset things somehow? I asked the passport people at the airport, and she said I would be o.k., but she gave me the impression she was just saying that.

What if I was to get another tourist visa?

Thanks for any help......

It depends on the date stamps in your passport if you used the full 90 days or not - I suspect not - but in any case you would be much safer obtaining a tourist visa and using that to enter. If you have to use visa free entry it may not result in a full 30 day stamp as you have likely used between 60 and 80 days of the alloted 90 day max.
