How can I book an appointment for a Non-immigrant B visa at the Thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur?

@Michael ********

reports are as fast as 3 days OR up to 11 days depending on if you get your documents right when you first upload them or they have to request additional docs which makes the processing time longer..

Also look for holidays the consulates are closed while you're there and your app is pending because nothing processes on those days and they don't count as "processing time"

There's just no way to tell, it comes down to how complete the packet is your employer gave you because for a non-B almost all the documents come from them.

I'd certainly just buy one way down there and then buy the ticket back after the visa is approved

As you saw with that choice

@Michael ********

certain areas are controlled by thai consulates in other countries.

Unfortunately the consulates in S/E Asia that use the eVisa system have the requirement that you be physically in the country whose consulate you are using.

You upload proof you're in the country (visa/entry stamp) when you apply

@Michael ********

1) you have to submit the application while in Malaysia and wait for it to be approved. Once approved, print the PDF, return to Thailand, and show the immigration officer your PDF print-off when going through immigration control. (Your hotel in Malaysia will more than likely happily print it for you)

2) You have to physically be in Malaysia when you submit the application, if you wish to leave once you have submitted the application nothing is technically stopping you from doing so. However, if you return to Thailand before your visa is granted you will need to leave Thailand and return to "activate" your visa (again same process, print PDF & show to immigration on return). Embassies also advise against leaving the country you are applying from in case there are issues that can only be resolved while you are in the country.

3) Thailand isn't included because you have to physically be in the country you are applying from (in this case Malaysia). Every embassy using the Evisa application system will ask for some form of proof of your location. If you submit an application while in Thailand and cannot prove you are in Malaysia (in this case) your application will be rejected and you will lose the fee you paid. If you wish to convert your current visa/exemption while in Thailand you will need your employer's help and extra paperwork. However, most employers will not do in-country visa conversions as it requires a ridiculous amount of admin and paperwork in comparison.

@Michael ********

, those visa application on eVisa have to be done when you are physically in that country where you want to apply through. Of course Thailand is not eligible as "current location". You have to upload entry stamp to the country and/or proof of where you are staying in that country.

@Michael ********

yes, I can.

It is actually the whole page who explains that you can NOT make appointments based on the fact that the Thai Embassy in Malaysia is now using the on-line application website from the Thai Ministry Of Foreign Affairs, the link is several times mentioned, BUT special for you:



So no walk to the Embassy, no need for appointments, no need to make hard copies to hand over, just visit the website while being in Malaysia and apply by sending in files and information.
