ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
The Non-Immigrant O visa can be applied for by foreigners in Malaysia; however, it is not available specifically for visits based on friends, relatives, or fiancés. The main options for this visa category include retirement, custody of a Thai child, or marriage to a Thai citizen. There is discussion about converting to a marriage visa after opening a Thai bank account, which may be feasible at the Penang consulate.
