so you mean the visa was for one month,, and now overstayed ,,,am i right?
i think ,,the best solution would be to get a medical certificate saying you were unwell and unable to travel on the designated date, take the certificate to immigration and tell them ,,sick unable to travel, there will be a fine of course,
this is my 2cents worth, better get a 2nd opinion
cheers

Thanks . I m at JB, do u know where I should get assistance ?

Why not contact the Vietnamese embassy and ask if the can issue you emergency travel documents.

I find it un usual that your friend managed to get visa for Malaysia without having at least 6 months to go on the passport before expiry. Most countries insist on this now.

yes stumpy is absolute correct,,
did you take your visa on arrival or at origin from the embassy?
if you took the one month visa on arrival,,, then they shouldnt have allowed you to travel in the 1st place

Another query.... I m holding a Singapore passport, start of this month I went to Thai border to get my passport extended for another month with a msia friend. Do u think I can go Thailand again to get extension this next month ? Or should I go to another country ... say... Indonesia ?? I really need some professional advice.... Thanks in advance
