First I will say do not plan coming this place it has been classified as the hardest and longest to get approved and the process is so tiring. I arrived here April 29 and the approval went through today May 29 so total of 30 days wild. I went with an agency which be honest was good idea cause they literally helped call the embassy and push my interview due to Penang canβt go the embassy anymore they have to request for interview. I have 3 weeks of them requesting my 3 months documents in a row ridiculous honestly but in the end it was approved. Please do research and go somewhere else they have a 50% chance here if you get approved or not.

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user shares their recent experience with obtaining a Digital Nomad Visa (DTV) in Penang, Malaysia, describing the lengthy and challenging approval process that took 30 days. They advise future applicants to consider other locations due to Penang's low approval rate and emphasize the importance of engaging an agency for assistance. Comments from others celebrate the user's success and offer additional tips for travel documentation.
You may have to show PROOF of your DTV Visa to airline staff on check-in for your flight βοΈ to Thailand...even to the connecting airline staff. Or to the land border crossing entry Thai Immigration Officer.
Upon arrival into Thailand, show the DTV visa to the Thai Immigration Officer and look at the STAMP placed in your passport to be sure you are STAMPED in for 180 days.
Battle won β¦ the gold standard for DTV applications , if the rest follow suit it will get interesting
