ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, everybody! My husband, baby, and I will be going to Penang next week to apply for a Non-B visa for me (teaching) and 2 Non-O visas for my family members to follow me. We are currently looking at this checklist of requirements, and are curious about this wording: “The document must be authenticated by the embassy of its country of origin.” Does this mean we have to take these two documents to our embassy for additional authentication? I am only concerned because we did have to do that for our marriage certificate in the past.

Yes. And Penang very strict on this and all paperwork. There is no getting around any requirements at the Penang Consulate.

Okay, thank you. Our embassy has no available appointments before our flight leaves, so this is going to be quite an ordeal. Thank you for your help.

Yes, you get these documents authenticated by your Embassy before you make your way to Penang and use them to apply for a visa.

So you have had to provide these affidavits before when applying in Penang?
