What is the process and requirements for obtaining a 60-day tourist visa from Penang?
Has anyone got a 60 day tourist visa from Penang recently? Any advice? And does anyone know if they require the proof of onward travel and if so, can it be in 90 days (taking into account that I’ll be applying for an extension)?
Thank you 🙏
Thank you 🙏

Does proof of lodgings have to be for the whole trip or can it be just 2 or 3 weeks?

Im a visa run agent on Koh Tao sending many of my customers to Malaysia for Tourist visas. Penang is cool to visit and

is a very nice, honest and helpful guy down there, yes onward flight is necessary and 90 days is fine. Kota Barhu is another good option, @Herbert ******
runs a fast and easy trip there from Samui/ Surathanni. KL is the hardest of the 3 options as they require a bit more paperwork.Johnny **********
When you come back across the border the officers make spot checks re. the cash so you may or may not get asked to show 20k.

thanks johnny, i think i'll be on koh phangan when i need to renew but easy enough to hop to either of those islands to join up with a trip :-) do either of those need you to have lots of cash in your hand or is bank statement sufficient? i really hate carrying large amounts of money around!

KL's not as bad as they used to be. ;) Just have the requirements they list on their website and you should be fine.

I seem to remember they are less user friendly. No first hand experience, though.

I believe they will take proof of onward travel as a bus ticket too and if you rent an apartment they take a copy of the lease.
Tod *********
you will need proof of onward travel and a confirmed lodging.

They need proof and 90 days will be fine. Be warned, they only process 200 visa/day. I used Jim's agency btw and they did a great job.
