I have two questions regarding getting a Non-Immigrant B visa in Penang, Malaysia. Has anyone been there recently and been required to provide a criminal record check in order to get their visa? Also, to get the Non-Imm. B visa do you need to have proof of onward flight leaving Thailand at the end of your visa? Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary
Several users confirm that obtaining a Non-Immigrant B visa in Penang does not require a criminal record check or proof of an onward flight. To apply, you generally need documentation from your accounting office. Initially, you can obtain a 90-day single entry visa while your work permit is processed, and later you can apply for a one-year multi-entry visa.

In Penang, for Non Immigrant B visa no criminal record nor outbound flight are required. Just paperworks from your accounting office.

If your work permit is in process, you can get a 90 day single entry non immigrant B visa, after that, when you got your work permit, you are able to get a 1 year multi entry visa.

Ellie Takei thank you for your response. Just to clarify, was your experience with getting a Non-Immigrant B visa or a Tourist visa?

I have done mine at Penang a few times and the latest one was in this May.

I have never provided nor been asked criminal record or outbound flight.
