TLDR : 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.

thanks for your post. Just to clarify. The visa I want to apply for is a Non-Immigrant O (Visiting Thai partner/other). Which is for myself and I wish to convert to a marriage visa obce I have a Thai bank account. Is this done there in Penang ?

Foreigners can apply for a Non-O visa in Malaysia, but there is no option based on friends, relatives, or fiancés.

You can apply on your own behalf based on retirement, custody of a Thai child, or marriage to a Thai citizen.
