Is it difficult to obtain a 3-month Non-B visa at the Thai embassy in Penang?

and I would imagine at this point that

has the answers they need to go to Penang and get a Non-B visa

Good luck and thanx go to

@Todd ********

for that update (y)

There are so few reports from people visa running to any consulate nearby, I'd say IF you have the correct paperwork you shouldn't have any problem at Penang (or any consulate really) especially for a Non-B visa (even with a passport filled with covid extensions)

KL is NOT a better option by a long shot. You need a mandatory appointment to get in the gate to apply and an appointment to pick up your passport.

If you have the correct documents (which is the responsibility of your employer to give you) you should be fine.

I would have thought 'providing fake paperwork' was a pretty good reason to refuse visa !!
