steve19836 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I am off to KL in a couple of months and my wife would like to come. She IS Thai and has never left Thailand, therefore she just has an id card and hasn't applied for a passport YET. I will be in KL for 3 days maximum. Is it easy for a Thai national to get into Malaysia for such a short period of time? Or do they ask for all kinds of things for her to show? Also just checking but British nationals don't need a visa to enter Malaysia, is that the case? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No visa required for a stay of 7 or 15 days (not sure about the current rules) Most EU PP holders don't need a visa and get a 90 days stamp on entry. opalhort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Thais are ok to enter Malaysia without a visa up from 7-15 days, correct? She is dping her passport next month. So we can both just leave for KL without visas right?

sjaak327 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Yes Thai citizens are visa free for Malaysia up to 30 days in fact. You will be 90 days visa free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpuiman Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) This website says she'll be good for a month with no visa...you will be good for 3 months. But...this website says..."British overseas citizens will require a visa"........ I'm sorry to confuse you...I'm confused.

I'm sorry to confuse you...I'm confused. There are different classes of British passports. British Subjects from Hong Kong, for example, were issued with passports indicating that they were British Overseas Citizens, these confer fewer rights than with a full British passport. If you were born in the UK and have a full British passport, then you will get a 90 day Visa on arrival in Malaysia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobalt60 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Did this myself a few weeks back, no problems whatsoever. Straight in, but Thai passport is needed as stated earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHarries Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 She should have no problem travelling with yourself once she has the passport. But it should be noted that Thai , and other S.E. Asian, women travelling alone may encounter some hostile questioning on entry into Malaysia. Being a new passport though it is unlikely she would attract any attention but if it were cluttered with entry/exit stamps for the country the immigration officers start to get suspicious.

reallyok Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 This website says she'll be good for a month with no visa...you will be good for 3 months.But...this website says..."British overseas citizens will require a visa"........ I'm sorry to confuse you...I'm confused. Citizens of the British Commonwealth except for about 5 nations, get 90 days visa free on arrival. Thai's get about 30 days provided they have a current passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALFREDO Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 First a Passport, about 1.300 B. And possible is that they ask for a return Ticket with a date in it. Just be next to her in the line at the Passportcontrol and let the Immigration officers, in any country know-show it by talking to her, that she is with you, it helps. I went more times to KL with GF from Thailand, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Believe passport is 1,000 baht and if with someone there should not be any need for tickets - most people cross border by land and have none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieLim Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 (edited) If you don't need a return ticket but must show one, check out AirAsia. They are now selling KUL-BKK for only 500 Baht all in. If you don't use it, you can still claim back the 250 Baht airport tax. Edited July 8, 2009 by AnnieLim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angiud Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Thai crossing Sadao border can get a permission to enter Malaysia if they have a valid ID card (many places in Sadao can arrange this). Withn this paper you can enter Malaysia for a few days, but stay only around the border (I don't remember how many Kms). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'I am off to KL in a couple of months and my wife would like to come.' is not quite the same as 'I am off to KL in a couple of months and I would like my wife to come too'.....so if you want a few days away from the 'trouble and strife' tell her that it would be very difficult for her to accompany you to Malaysia.
