I had a lease for the house I rent here.

My whole point with posting was just to alert people going to Penang. I follow everything they outline on the embassy site every time and this time I had to do a significant amount of talking at the embassy and even on my way through immigration back. Everyone told me this was an “easy” visa run and I found the process less so. My run to Ho Chi Minh in December was way less stressful.

Our first was starting September 2017. They did not seem to reset the visas as this would have been our first for 2018.

I went to the embassy.

@Marco ********

no it wasn’t. They did say that was preferred.

Sure. I figured no one would show up for a visa run without all the things they ask for. So I had... proof of onward travel within 60 days, over 5k USD for bank statement and the lease for my house.

NO!! Have EVERYTHING! I had everything and they still gave me some hassle. It was when they looked closer at my bank statement that he sighed and put the paperwork through.

Yeah I figured... I have onward travel booked to my home country within 90 days so hopefully that plus some cash will make it all good.

Great! Thank you!
