Padang Besar border without visa

[anotherfarangishere]

Hello,

I have crossed the border from Thailand to Malaysia at Padang Besar ten days ago.

I'm thinking to go back to Thailand by the same way without visa : some chances to get a 30 days visa run ?

Better : did somebody have done it ?!???

Thanks !

Depending on your nationality... 15 days is common

[elviajero]

You'll get 30 days if you're from one of the G7 countries, otherwise it would be 15 days.

G7 countries: Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK, USA.

Yes, thanks, I'm from G7, I know it's 30 days, I wasn't clear, what I mean is "some chance to get the visa run"... or more chance to be rejected ? Or zero chance to cross the border without visa ? Or no problem ? Or depending of what is inside your passport ?

[anotherfarangishere]

Nobody has done or tried to do this ?

Unless you have recently done several visa exempt entries you will not have a problem entering the country.

I did it twice, once at PB train station immigration and once at car border immigration (in and out same day), but both with a newer pasport not to many stamps in it. Both crossings in about 2 minuts without any problems, get stampend 15 days. No money or ticket needed but i had it prepared with me. Both crossings 2015.

Thanks ! This is the point : things could be harder in 2016... But it's not the same day and all my previous Thailand entrances were with visa.

land borders usually have a shorter visa duration.

likely to be 15 days

Border crossings do not do visas.

For most people it is only a 15 day visa exempt entry. For those from G7 countries it is 30 days. Others that get theirs from bilateral agreements get 14, 30 or 90 days dependent upon the country they are from.

Thanks to everybody : I'll go to Padang Besar without visa and will post my experience

[anotherfarangishere]

Ok, done : no problem at all. They just ask me where I was going, but after they put the stamp on my passport. I'm from G7 and got 30 days.

It's my first visa run on this passport and I have three thai visa on it. Also, the address on my passport is a thai address.

Thanks again to everybody
