ORIGINAL POSTER
I have some cognitive impairment due to an illness. I have been on an elite visa due to expire and wish to convert to a non o based on marriage ( married in the uk in 2012). I want to do this in Penang in Malaysia. Has anyone had experience of doing this there and exactly what documents are required. The website is not clear to me.

Thank you in advance

A comment questions the choice of Malaysia for this process, suggesting Thailand would be easier.
