Can you confirm the only nearby Consulate that gives Multi Entry Non Immigrant B Visa is Penang?

What about Vientiane or Yangoon?

TLDR : Answer Summary
The question seeks to confirm whether the Penang Consulate is the only nearby option for obtaining a Multi Entry Non Immigrant B Visa, questioning the roles of other locations like Vientiane and Yangon. Discussions reveal that Penang has recently restricted issuance of such visas mainly to business owners while others may only receive a single entry visa. The conversation also touches on the existence of a possible option in Hong Kong but clarifies that the restrictions surrounding these visa categories vary by consulate.

As I mentioned Muslim states, penang and kl is not. If you go to Kota Bharu and Kuala Terrenganu, they won't allow opposite sit next to each other in the cinema.

Fausto ********
Im here now to apply for my single entry 90 days non b...need to wait until sunday cause the embassy is closed fridays and saturdays
Tod *********
that would be great if you could ask (y)
Tod *********
Nope,

Penang's the only one I'm aware of

AND

they just recently changed their policy to only give year-long, multi-entry Non-B's to owners of companies or Managing Directors. Regular employees can only get 90 day Non-B's there now..

@Ma***
, I thought I had read about someone getting one in Hong Kong, and they list it as available on their website

It says "for business only' so I dunno what that actually means. You could contact them;

Yes I know about this restriction.

So you can confirm that all the nearby consulates can not release Multi Non B.

Thank you very much Tod
