ORIGINAL POSTER

Hey all, my Malaysian wife just went to Cambodia to return to Bangkok. She was refused entry and now needs to fly, the immigration said an outbound flight from BKK and my work permit info would suffice for entry at the airport, as she is meant to have unlimited entry due to nationality we are devastated by this. Do you think she will be okay to enter with my info and an outbound flight? Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about their Malaysian wife's recent entry refusal into Thailand after traveling from Cambodia. Although typically Malaysian nationals have unlimited entry, she faced issues and was advised that presenting an outbound flight from Bangkok along with the user's work permit information might suffice for her entry. Others shared experiences related to entry difficulties due to COVID extensions and suggested alternative entry points, raising questions about current immigration policies.

i thought they had stopped the covid extension already.

Flying in from Vietnam should be no problem. My Malaysian cousin who is working in BKK had no problem when he flew back from Vietnam after a holiday there.

She can fly back to Malaysia and then enter Thailand by land through any of the land borders from Perlis all the way to Kelantan. Of course the best choice is at the Bukit Kayu Hitam/Sadao land entry where she can go to Hatyai to catch a flight straight to BKK..

I am a Malaysian, btw..

People are having problems flying into Bangkok with covid extension stamps. Best option is to fly into Phuket or take a land crossing over a border

not 100% she feels it was the covid extension but we are puzzled because she is Malaysian and went Cambodia for 5 days

No refusal stamp as she was able to return into Cambodia (reversal) they advised her to fly in with my details and an outbound flight.

Look at the stamp in her passport. If she was denied entry there's a stamp with a Thai character 1-10. That number corresponds to the reason she was refused.
