Non imm O 90 day friends relatives or fiance. Can anyone confirm whether these are still being issued from Penang Malaysia Consulate to non malaysians who are physically present in Malaysia to apply
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.

@Jan *****************
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.
