TLDR : Answer Summary

You cannot apply and collect a tourist visa from the Thai consulate in Penang on the same day. Applications must be submitted in the morning, and passports can be picked up the next afternoon. Make sure to have the required documents ready, including a copy of your passport, two passport photos, and onward flight confirmation.

To my knowledge no embassy or consulate in any adjoining country offers same day service.

Nope. Submit application 9:00 - 11:00 am first day. Pick up 14:00-16:00 pm the following day 150 MR. Copy of passport front page. Two passport photos. Onward flight confirmation required. If you can't provide any of those there's a very helpful chap outside Consulate who can provide them all - for a fee.

For the onward ticket, is it okay if the ticket is past 60 days of the visa? Because i would be extending our stay for 30 days on top of the tourist visa.

nope, turn in the application in the morning and pick up your passport the next afternoon.

AFAIK none of the thai consulates in the area offer same day service anymore

Is it still possible to get a tourist visa for Thailand as a walk-in in Penang, Malaysia, or is the eVisa now mandatory?
