CFC Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I have got to do a visa run to KL this week. I am only in KL for 2.5 Hours. Anyone know if checkin, security and immigration are a lot slower than normal due to the missing plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trd Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 That should be long enough as you won't have any luggage to check on. The only risk is if your outbound flight is delayed. I've done this run before but opted to get a later return flight just in case. More boring hanging around the airport for longer, but safer if there are delays.

Upnotover Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Which airport/airline? I did this with TG some years back, checked in for the return at BKK and never even entered Malaysia as arrivals and departures are not segregated at KUL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeowBundit Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Beware! Last time I wait 45 min in queue to immigration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were caught doing it would be a very unpleasant experience. Especially if it was noticed on your return to Thailand and they refused you entry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asiaexpat Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 That depends on what airline you use to get to KL. Some go to the LCCT and 2.5 hours should be plenty of time. If the airline goes to the new International Airport, never can tell until you arrive. My last trip through the International terminal took quit a bit of time since many international flights arrived at about the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFC Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 I am flying with AirAsia and going to LCCT. This trip would have been OK in normal circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CFC Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Visa Run Completed successfully. The plane took off 10 mins early and got to KL 25 Mins early. No extra hold ups at security or Immigration which was surprising. Maybe if I had flown 3 or 4 days earlier this wouldn't have been the case due to the missing plane.
