How long does it take to get a 1-year multi-entry B visa in Penang and is it worth hiring an agent?

Last December, I went to Penang to get a Non Imm B / M as Managing Director of my own company. I had all documents needed and had planned on going myself to the Consulate. But woke up with an awful migraine headache. I went out into the hotel lobby, sat down - tried to do some last minute checking of the documents... Then I saw an Agent discussing a Visa situation with a lady. I immediately spoke to the Agent when he finished with the lady. I briefed him for 10 minutes turned over my docs and paid him. Then went back to bed and slept for 10 hours. I had not had a migraine headache for years. Must have been the long land travel. Bottomline - the Agents can be "The Ticket" when help is needed. Got my passport with Visa back the next afternoon.

1 year b visa is not easy. You need to be a shareholder of the company and the managing director. It needs to be written in your work permit

Yes in Penang an agent would be good.worth it! The embassy is kind of in a far away area .i bet agent is cheaper than taxi

If you have all right documents ready, no need to use an agent.

Apply in the morning, receive next working day in the afternoon.

Go see Jim at Jins bar on Julia Street. He take care for 200 baht...easy for you.
