BritTim Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Technically, I think it is a firm proposal rather than definitely approved. However, it is almost certainly going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is difficult to predict, but it is clear that almost all the key decision makers favour the proposal, and I think you can rely on it happening.

pomchop Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 but still no clarity as to how long you may be able to extend at immigration? if u get 45 days on arrival can you extend by additional 45 or 30 or??? rather important bit of info to leave out.

Then again, Malaysians are treated very differently from Thais when traveling to Western countries. Reciprocity. Consider what Thais have to go through to visit other countries for which Thailand offers visa exempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PITA for myself being Oz requiring visa to Vietnam. Also Cambodia, Laos etc. In addition Thailand provides many other visa options.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
