Can a South African obtain a Non-B immigration visa for teaching in Penang or KL?
Hi, everyone. I want to know if a South African can still get a Non-B immigrant visa ( for teaching) from Penang or KL? I got one last year from Penang. TIA.
Answer summary
A South African can still obtain a Non-B immigrant visa for teaching in Thailand from Penang or KL, as confirmed by recent experiences. However, it's essential to prepare the necessary documentation, including both Thai and South African police clearances, and be aware of possible fees at the border.

I would suggest using one TBH. Doing it by yourself seems risky and time consuming. You would think the consulate has a 'good' relationship with the visa people so it's painless and hopefully less likely to give issues! (My thoughts, atleast) I'd defos pay the extra 50 ringit for the help! No problem:)
