If anybody knows the recent situation in Penang after new rule applied in May, I'd appreciate you share the info.

A couple of people are going to Penang to apply for visas in a few weeks.. so...

How early do you suppose to go to Penang consulate?

Know office opens at 8:30, visa application opens at 9:00.

Is it easy to hit the 100 people, the limit of the day there?

Especially on Mondays?

And if there are unwritten rules other than one applied 14th May there, would you share, please?

Thank you in advance.

Answer summary

The recent changes in Penang regarding visa applications have raised questions, particularly about the new rules implemented in May. The consulate opens at 8:30 AM, and visa applications start at 9:00 AM. There is concern about reaching the daily limit of 100 applicants, especially on Mondays. Based on some user experiences, it appears that Penang has clear, documented rules without unwritten ones complicating the process.

Penang seems pretty clear on what is and isn't acceptable. From where I'm sitting and seeing, Penang don't do unwritten rules.
