So to add a little more confusion. If the condo does this online, what evidence do you get or have if there are problems further down the line?

Just got back from Penang with my Ed Visa 24th. They want all your docs. I did not have my Bank account details and showing the guy cash from my wallet (over 20k). Was not enuff. I asked to see his supervisor (I suspect the kid is new) and they accepted the application.

I am going to send an email to the consulor there and let him know the embassy is getting a bad reputation. And one to Penang tourism as they will go have a word with the embassy and apply some pressure

But go see Jim. Nothing but good reviews and I was going to but he was not open when I headed off to the embassy. He cost not much more than the taxi fare to go yourself and saves you a few hours standing in the heat

I am in Penang now. Don't forget a print out of proof you have some money to afford to stay. They are very picky here.

And it is now a 2 month tourist visa. Not 3 month
