Is my plan for traveling to Malaysia and applying for an O visa in Thailand feasible?

Mike *******

never been there but I am not staying in the uk a minute longer than I have to. If could afford the MM2H I would stay in penang. Probably Songkhla so I can get back to Penang easily with a muliple entry for Thailand.. I have 'family' in Penang but the MM2H is a bit out of my budget.

@Brandon ***********

I will be staying with 'family' in Penang so as many days as possible is good for me.

I take your point about the bank account, I might try an agent but use my own money....

Just trying to sketch out a plan at this stage, so thanks for your advice.

I want to leave the UK in sept 24 but be in penang for CNY in '25

Might be worth checking if you ever need a One Time Passcode and co op won't do international calls.

For me Santander require a Uk phone number, which I won't have.....and I figure an international bank will be much more efficient than a building society based in europe...
