Can I obtain a new tourist visa in Penang after having a tourist visa from Vietnam?
Hi there. I'm currently on my first tourist visa (2 months + 1 month extension) and was hoping to go on a visa run to Penang to get another tourist visa. I was told that embassies in neighboring countries won't me grant another tourist visa within one year. Did anyone have this experience recently? TIA!
Answer summary
The original poster is inquiring about the possibility of obtaining a new tourist visa in Penang, Malaysia, after holding a tourist visa issued in Vietnam. Community responses indicate that while rules may differ between embassies, some may allow an additional tourist visa if the prior one was obtained from a different country, particularly if it hasn't exceeded the one-per-year limit.

OPThank you! Although I didn't get my current visa back home but in Vietnam. So if I understand correctly it should be fine as long as I don't make the request at an embassy that already granted me a TR?

The rule will vary by embassy, but I believe some of them are only allowing 1 "additional" tourist visa per year. So the one you got from home probably won't affect your ability to get another one in Penang
