Hi there!

1st of all, thanks for adding me.

I'm seeking advice on single entry tourist visit.

Have 2 from Penang in 2016.

Will they issue a 3rd?

Or chances higher at a Thai Consulate in another place say like Vientiane Laos?

Thanks in advance! ^_^

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry concerns the possibility of obtaining a third single-entry tourist visa from the Penang consulate in Malaysia after receiving two in 2016. The responses suggest that while it is possible to get another visa from Penang, there's a risk of receiving a warning stamp that could affect future applications at either Penang or other Thai consulates. It is recommended to apply at a different consulate, such as one in Vientiane, Laos, for a better chance at securing the visa.

You'd most likely get another single entry tourist visa from Penang, BUT you'd also probably get the warning stamp on it too.

There are reports of people having a warning stamp on a tourist visa from one consulate being denied another tourist visa at a different thai consulate. :/

Here's what the Penang warning stamp looks like :O

Chances are much higher at a different Embassy/Consulate
