Hello,
It might sound silly, but... Can you ask Malaysian officials at the border to put the entry stamp (I guess it's called a "social visit pass" for most EU residents) on a passport page which already has (small) stamps on it? The reason why I'm asking is that I'm running out of space in my passport.
(I already know what the stamp looks like, so no need for description here.)
Thanks.

you can ask, depends on the mood of the immigration guy at the time. if you are female and pretty u probably got a better chance, and a big smile might help.

I've never had a problem with any immigration official doing that. Unless they are having a very bad day there's no reason they shouldn't.

I often ask them to do that and I have never had a problem.
They will even tell me the page number to tell the next immigration where to find the stamp.

Unlike Australian Immigration who just stamp wherever they like in spite of being asked nicely to stamp a certain page.

I agree with #1. Often Msian immigration officers will just stamp anywhere, and sometimes asking them actually annoys them - so it depends entirely on the mood of the officer at the desk.

#3 said - They will even tell me the page number to tell the next immigration where to find the stamp.
I've NEVER come across that.

I arrived in Malaysia last night and without asking they filled in a space on a page that already had two other stamps on it. Last time I came through they also stamped on a page with other stamps. If you're lucky you won't even need to ask!

No problem with that. My passport also was almost full with 1 blank page left and I arrived with some apprehension (March 2010). But the Immi officer was kind enough to look for a page where he could stamp it. So I think that should not be a worry !

I have a brand new passport since that and already used it again at KLIA last July !
