giulio78 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Hello guys, soon i will need to drive my parents (in their late sixties) to Malaysia to activate the next visa on their METV. Which border is easiest (less hassle) for a quick in-out (same day) with a valid tourist visa? I heard Wang Prachan Border is supposed to be very friendly but i never been there. Thank you G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfa Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 What about over Hat Yai. I usually do that trip on my way to KL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would have to go to PadangBasar- Malaysia boarder crossing ,very easy, recommended. A Tourist Visa (single entrance) can not do a turn round ,but re-entry without a new TV will get you 15 or 30days. ME visa no problem can do immediate turn round.

The 15 day visa exempt entry at land border crossings went away over 2 years ago when the 2 visa exempt entries per calendar year went into effect.

No reports of anybody having a problem there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuketrichard Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Have used all the Malay/Thai borders with my car easiest and least hassle are Satun (Wang Prachan Border ) Betong (Pengkalan Hulu border ) and the drive down from Yala is fantastic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giulio78 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Share Posted March 17, 2019 thanks you for the help! I think i wasn't very clear about the visa: They already have a multiple entry tourist visa, they just need to go in and out to activate the new 60 days entry Last time they did the in-out by plane but they got some hassle at Krabi airport (show credit card, show flight out of thailand, etc etc), so this time I will drive them to Malaysia hoping for less problems. From your answers I will try Wang Prachan Border Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
