Non O Visa Passport validity less than 6 months

Featured Replies

I have a non-o visa valid until February 2015. My passport expires in March 2015. I have to do a 90 day visa run tomorrow to KL returning to Swampy 2 days later. Will I have problems with immigration on my return beacuse there will be less than 6 months validity?

That depends upon which country you are from. For those from most western countries only passport validity for the length of stay is needed. Check her for your requirements: http://www.staralliance.com/en/services/visa-and-health/

But Malaysia requires 6 months months passport validity for entry.

Thanks Ubon Joe

Its an Australian passport. But I also have a British passport with more than 6 months validity. So could I enter and exit Malaysia on that ?

You could do the passport swap to meet the entry requirements for Malaysia.

I would say it is about time to get a new passport. It only takes a couple of weeks to get one for Oz.

Yes Ubon Joe. I am returning to Oz in three weeks to do just that. Will the Thai Embassy there transfer the O Visa, to the new passport, or should I get it done when I come back to TH ?

BTW the Star Alliance site says my Australian passport only needs to be valid for my period of stay in TH

Yes Ubon Joe. I am returning to Oz in three weeks to do just that. Will the Thai Embassy there transfer the O Visa, to the new passport, or should I get it done when I come back to TH ?

Visas cannot be transferred. You will have to use both passports to use the visa in your old passport on entry until your visa expires.

You use both passports to enter Thailand and immigration stamps you in on the new passport after having seen the valid visa in the old passport.
