Hello Community!

I am planning a trip to Penang to apply for a Tourist Visa as my exemption visa that I have renewed expires on the 22nd September.

I just want to confirm what the wait time in Penang is for the Visa to be processed? I have read 2 days to process & pick up on the 3rd day.

Is this correct or has anyone had a shorter turnaround in Penang?

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou 🙌💛🌈

TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is planning to apply for a Tourist Visa in Penang before their exemption visa expires. They asked about the typical processing time, seeking confirmation on whether it usually takes two days to process and pick up on the third day. A community member responded that the application can be submitted on the morning of the first day, with collection available in the afternoon of the second day, advising to arrive early due to potential queues.

Penang is apply morning of day 1, collect afternoon of day 2. Get there early. It opens at 9 but by then there’ll be a big queue.

@Stuart ********
 thankyou for your confirmation. I have had very conflicting reports.

Difficult to find the correct information.

Have you had this experience in Penang personally?
