JB: MAC and non MAC clearance

Very Active Golfer Posts : 716 Join date : 2010-07-13

Went in with a fren to play over the weekend...

When we were coming back through the Malaysia checkpoint... then realised the non MAC passport was not STAMPED at time of entry....

Apparantly the officer was still sleeping in the early AM... or have mistaken both passports to be MAC.

The gist of it all... pls pls double check on your passports!!!

HELP

Are you referring to MACS?
I usually will inform M'sia custom officer at e counter upon entry M'sia
Experience the officer stamp while checking thru my passport, immmediated ask them to cancel it.
So, is everyone responsibility to check before leaving e custom

You better go back and explain to the officer otherwise your next visit they consider u illegally exit without stamp, than you're in trouble. It happened to me when I went JB with another 2 golf kakis they have MACS I don't. So they didn't stamp my PP when leaving JB.

My trip went in explained to the officer, he wrote a remark and signature, than it's cleared!

Don't wait too long go asap to explain to the officer the actual situation
so that you'll be cleared.

If not your next trip or visit thru their JB custom could be a long one.

Suggest you go to Malaysia High Commission here to sort it out with the Immigration Officer before your next trip into Malaysia. You won't want all the hassle when you are the checkpoint.

My 2 cents worth...being an ex-Malaysian
