ORIGINAL POSTERHi, does anyone have any recent experience/information/list of documents required for getting a SETV in KL please? Thanks so much for your help.
TLDR : Answer Summary
To apply for a Short-Term Tourist Visa (SETV) at the Thai embassy in Kuala Lumpur, applicants typically need documents such as hotel bookings, a flight out of the country, and a bank statement demonstrating sufficient funds. It's necessary to book an appointment to submit your application and to pick up your passport later. Additionally, while some have used a bus ticket as proof of onward travel, it must be to another country, not just to the border. Applicants should also check if their passport is from a restricted country, as this affects the visa application process.

In the Thai Embassy of Kuala Lumpur there are TWO different check lists for every visa applications. FIRST thing you have to do is check if the country of origin of your passport is on the list of restricted countries, if yes then you open the list with visa's for passport holders of restricted countries or else you open the list with visa's for other passport holders. Just to show the difference:
Restricted countries for tourist visa:
Non restricted countries for Tourist visa:

Remember KL requires an online appointment to turn in your paperwork AND to pick your passport back up
People have used a bus ticket as proof of onward travel but it has to be to another country (it can't just be to the border).

I did notice this but also notice that you cannot book the appointments until a couple of weeks before. I was thinking of booking a bus ticket to Siem Reap, so it sounds like that should be OK.George *******

I've never noticed the proof of employment in Malaysia before on that list either. It could just apply if you living and working in Malaysia or are Malaysian. No idea if a bus ticket is acceptable there or not. With KL though, you absolutely have to supply what they require or you don't get the visa. I've seen a few reports lately that aren't big on giving visas now if you have a history of visas in your passport.
You also need to book an appointment to lodge your application AND to pick up your passport.

ORIGINAL POSTERI am confused about proof in employment in Malaysia? Also is a bus ticket out of Thailand acceptable?

, I guess it's proof of residence in Malaysia. They don't issue METV (multiple entry tourist visa) to non-resident foreigners. You don't need it for SETV.Dee *********
ORIGINAL POSTERApplicable pass to reside in Malaysia - is this just the visa on arrival that we will get in our passport?

You don't need proof of employment in Malaysia if you are NOT from the listed countries.
For example, if you are from UK, your checklist is here.
