Greetings, 

I'd appreciate some advice on applying for my second tourist visa in Kuala Lumpur ( I've been advised it would be better than Penang). As far as I know the application needs to be put in before 11am and then collected (hopefully) the following morning- or is it afternoon? 

Basically i'm wondering about my flight booking- If I leave on the Monday, put the application in on the Tuesday could I still catch the 12pm flight on the Wednesday? 

I'm sure there are many out there that have been in this situation, please advise :)

Appreciated,

Genene

Re: Singapore - major improvements now they use an online application system. You actually get approval before you fly so there's no risk of delay.

Still horrendously expensive if you're covering the cost yourself and don't want to stay in some dump in Little India.

Had zero issues with KL. As long as your docs are in order it's easy. Flights from DMK are dirt cheap as well, as are hotels / getting around the city.

Never considered using an agent so can't comment on that part.

KL has had a reputation of being difficult for years on thai visa forums vs Penang being easy + you can use an agent in Penang, although I would note that KL from reports is getting better. Singapore is the only place that has a worse reputation in the region.

Ahhh,

, now the truth comes out :O Doing a visa run from Koh Phangan is a far cry from doin' it from bangkok

Why don't you just go to Penang and get a tourist visa?

Sorry but what do you mean by 'pick up time'?

Adam ***********

Adam ***********

That's the collection time (from 2:30) at the consulate. I flew home around 6pm. Check-in online and print your boarding pass - that way the only queue is for immigration

I've done KL overnight using Air Asia. First flight there in the morning, and then an evening flight back the next day. The pickup time when I was there was only around 10 minutes.
