Visa Run

When you live in a country you are not a citizen of, you are always aware of the passing of time – and when your visa expires, and when you have to get out. So far, living in Malaysia has been hassle-free. Every 3 months I have to visit Thailand for 3 days, and then I can come back and get another 90 days of life.

Since Langkawi is right on the Malaysia – Thailand border, visiting the nearest big city, which is Hatyai, is a nice shopping experience. It only requires a ferry ride of about an hour and then a bus trip of another hour or so.

But every time I leave the boat, I always wonder if I will be allowed to return – or will I end up some homeless, stateless person?
