(US Pp holder, coming off 5 years' extensions of Non-Imm M visa) There have been mentions of a few points that I cannot find addressed on the Penang consulate website: 1)That Malaysia was shutting down tourist entries until 30 or 31 Mar. 2) Health certificate. If I am coming from Thailand can it be from a Thai hospital? How long before applying does the date of the certificate have to be? 3) What about the field on the application that asks for guarantor? Who can this be? As always, thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, a US passport holder with a Non-Imm M visa, is seeking clarification on a few points regarding visa application processes at the Penang consulate, particularly related to health certificates and the guarantor field. They have received confirmation that Malaysia's tourist entries are currently shut down and were advised that health certificates should be obtained from a hospital in the country where the application is submitted. Furthermore, it was suggested to ignore the guarantor line on the application.

Thanks for the info

1. That is true, Malaysia is shut down.

2. The health certificate will be from the hospital you are applying at. If it's in Malaysia, it'll be a Malaysia hospital

3. Ignore the line.

What type of visa do you want?
