Reader question: With the ferry from Satun to Langkawi, what about a visa for Malaysia?

When leaving Thailand, you must also fill in the part of the ticket that will be stapled in your passport when you entered Thailand after filling it in on the plane by immigration at the airport. You step with your passport two minutes through the Malaysian immigration on the left, around the small building and you show your passport to the Malay there. A few meters further at the Thai immigration you get to fill in such a new ticket. If you do not have a visa for Thailand with 'multiple entry', you must leave the country within 15 days, barring special fuss. At least, that's how it was. Last week a not necessarily reliable source told me that now also when entering by land, a visa on arrival for 30 days as before would only be given via seaport or airport. However, it was not about a Dutchman or a Belgian. However, check that if 15 days would not be enough for you and you do not have multiple entry visas for a longer period of time.

The last twenty kilometers to the border post are a very nice route. A few waterfalls are also accessible outside the aforementioned [if visited, to be paid] nature park. Usually it is a very quiet border post so you only have to stay away from your vehicle on the Thai side for fifteen minutes. When I was there about three years ago, everyone on both sides of the border was also very friendly and helpful.
