ORIGINAL POSTERDTV Succes Story from Penang, Malaysia.
I applied under the workcation scheme as an employee of a company I co-own.
08 Jan 2025 11:00 – Application submitted.
10 Jan 2025 18:00 – Request for further documents.
10 Jan 2025 19:00 – Submitted
16 Jan 2025 15:00 – Request for further documents.
16 Jan 2025 15:30 – Submitted
17 Jan 2025 15:00 – Approved
The first round of extra documents requested where some questions about my work, whether I have an office in Thailand, and how often I travel there. The second request was for more details about my work and a sample of it.
Thanks a lot to this forum for providing useful answers about the process.

Congrats... one of the very few success stories at Penang. Mine was a nightmare - eventually approved after 8 weeks. I also had two extra document requests and the same questions, why couldn't they put it all in one request??
