Penang Consulate / Non-B questions

Hi, I am a Belgian national and I have been pre-approved for a work permit by the department of labour in Satun. I have been trough this process before, I have all the paper work, but it is my first time applying for a non-B in Penang. 

1. Do you recommend using an agent in Penang? If yes, can you recommend one?

2. How long does it usually take for the Visa application to be processed?

Thank you for your time!

And before we have al list of every visa agent in Penang, just get to Julia Street and if the shop is not a visa agent, both neighbors are. There are hundreds of them. Good luck.

For the agent, I wouldn't recommend getting one. You should have all the paperwork the school/ employer gave you.

For the visa application, it's 1 business day
