Hello! I’m just confused about this thread… he says Malaysia takes up to 4 weeks to process visa. I’m German passport holder and plan to go to Thai embassy in Penang for a new tourist vis at the end of this year. Normally it takes 2-3 days….

you won't have ANY issues applying for a tourist visa as a westerner in Penang..

It's just certain countries passports that require that 'extended processing" time.

report back on how the visa run to Penang goes for you if you would (y)

keep in mind you need to book an appointment to get in the gate of that consulate and apply

AND

that consulate has a 3 working day processing time (example; turn your passport in Monday morning get it back Wednesday afternoon, turn it in Thursday morning get it back the following Monday afternoon)

you book it at this link
