TLDR : Answer Summary

The current wait time for a Non-O visa in Penang is uncertain, but some responses indicate wait times of around 2 weeks in Kuala Lumpur, with another individual mentioning their online application took about 10 days. It appears many might prefer applying in KL over other locations.

And i used to think the visa run to Savannakhet from Bangkok was not much of a pleasant experience but at least you’d get your visa and back home in less than 72 hours..
