I am in Penang at the moment. Would you recommend trying to get a TR visa from here, or applying for the e-TR visa online? (I have many covid extension stamps on my passport). Here's what I know so far about Penang: it's a hit or miss situation, up to the IM officer. They have new management here and now it takes 72 hrs to get a response. Only 30 applicants per day. I was told by agents that now you have to go in person so they can see you/interview you. Anybody has any recent experience with Penang? Thanks!

Hey!

So what’s the current story on Penang not giving out Non-B visa?

Hello all. I'm planning to get a tourist visa back into Thailand from Malaysia. I wanted to do it in Penang. I searched the group and found a lady who did it around the 2nd april with no problems and didn't need proof of funds. May I assume that nothing has changed? I have also looked online and didn't see any sites stating any change.

Going tomorrow to get a SETV in Penang. Does the whole family have to be with me or can just one adult go for partner and kids?

Hi, do you need to book in for a 90 day O at Penang

Non - B in Penang.

The company where I will start working with already prepare all my paperwork and they ask me to pay an amount of money to go to Penang with an agency because as they said: "it will be hard to apply by yourself and you will have to make an interview with the agents there" .

Is it that true?

Is it a new requirement, to pass an interview?

I just want to know your experience there and how many of you used an agency or If you did it by yourself.

I went to Penang many times already to apply for a different kind of visa and quite easy if you have all your papers and the requirements that they ask for.

Thanks in advance! :)

Hey guys,

I'm going to Penang on Saturday for a visa. My gf is also coming and is on an ED visa. She needs a re-entry permit but I'm not sure if one of those is easy to get. Will we need to get to Immigration at 5am tomorrow like everyone else or are these permits easier to acquire than other things (meaning - there isn't a strict daily quota)?

This new place seems to illicit more confusion than harmony from what I'm reading lol

Truth or rumour? On another page people have been saying that Immigration in Penang is requiring a plane ticket to your home country instead of just out of Thailand. This seems more than ridiculous but wanting to hear the latest.

Just a quick update, just got back from Penang, Jim Tachinamurthy was very helpful as we were traveling with 2 small children, he took care of everything. Also its true children under 14 don't need visas, we applied for the 60 day everything went smoothly. Also my daughters passport was about 8 days over the 6 month cut off, Penang immigration officer mentioned it but did not hold or stop us, and we flew into DMK and had no problems on our transfer to domestic flights. I would like to thank everyone that helped my family and I through Thai visa advice page! Thank you!!

Can someone travelling on a Philipino passeport obtain a 2 month tourist visa in Penang ? Does she need any visa to enter Malaysia ?
