TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired about the possibility of doing a Visa Run to Penang, to which responses indicated that it is still possible provided that the Malaysian entry requirements and Thai re-entry requirements are met. One comment referenced a potential misunderstanding linked to past inquiries about work permits, while another provided a link to the Thai Embassy in Penang outlining specific visa requirements.

It's possible if you meet the Malaysian entry requirements and then the Thai requirements.

I wonder if the visa agency may have said that based on the work permit question you asked a few months back?
