How long does it take to get a Non-B visa approved after a run to Malaysia?
I have a plan to go to Malaysia for non-b visa run. Because my company agent recommended me to go there as I am not planning to go back to my home country for visa application.
Do you have any idea how many days does it take to get visa approval? Could you share any recent experience?

Where are you based? There are visa run companies that deal with non b visa. The cost is a bit more but its a guaranteed visa, fast track and hassle free, compared to doing it by yourself.

OPPaul Franklin i am currently in thailand. Actually visa cost will be covered by company and I just want to know how long it can take to do in malaysia bcoz i only have 14 days visa free for Malaysia entry

HeartyCamel9758 I gathered you were in Thailand, I meant where. There are various agencies Thailand that do return trips to Penang, obviously the closer you are the quicker the trip. The agents cover everything so its hassle free. If you want to do it by yourself, you can get to Georgetown, Penang, then ask a local agent to arrange your paperwork. The embassy was closed Fridays, so be aware of that, otherwise you vould be stuck for the weekend. Unless you want to spent the 14 days there.

HeartyCamel9758 if you fly to Penang, head to Georgetown, there are many hotels there and quite few offer visa services. They arrange the paperwork and take your passport, you don't even goto the embassy. You can look around the place for 2 days, then you should have you PP back. I used to go there or Kota Bauru for my non Bs. (Although, not since covid)

David Burns what on earth is that nonsense? The visa takes a couple of days. If you don't know, don't comment

Malaysia is known to be slow but you usually have little choice, you go where your told as the documentation you need is normally addressed to a specific consulate
