bangsaenguy Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Just made a trip to Penang and applied for a new Type O. I had no problems getting a multiple entry Type O with marriage cert, etc. Used the agent at CN Bookstore on Chula St. Very efficient. Visa cost was 550 MYR and his fee 400 MYR.

I will be interested in how you go!! I will be visa running again in July. 2 weeks ago I got refussed a 1 yr non B in KL as I was missing a signiture in my work permit from the labor dept saying I could get a 1 yr. I had all the rest of the paper work. So I was issued a 1 entry 90 day. Not happy as it seemed the goal posts where changed as I was flying there! What date do you need to do it by? I will PM you so I can be updated if it is ok with you. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goonerthegooner Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Surely his fee was 40 MYR,[about 400 Baht],not 400MYR as you say. Please clarify??. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross163103 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 What do these agents do for you? Can't you go to the embassy/consulate and submit your application paperwork on your own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 The Consulate is in the suburbs so the taxi fare is just about the same cost as using an agent - where you fill out forms in the comfort of hotel or office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I use one of those agents how long do I have to wait till the visa is issued next day or day after or even longer ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digitalchromakey Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) Just made a trip to Penang and applied for a new Type O. I had no problems getting a multiple entry Type O with marriage cert, etc. Used the agent at CN Bookstore on Chula St. Very efficient. Visa cost was 550 MYR and his fee 400 MYR. How long did you have to wait till your visa was issued? 2 days or more ? The application has to be made at the Consulate in the morning and is then picked up after lunch the next working day. Penang are open Monday - Friday excluding Thai and Malaysian national holidays. Be warned that there is a new Consul at Penang who seems to be very strict. April is the most recent report on this forum of a 1 year non O multiple being issued - you would be well advised to google one of the visa agents and check if you will still be ok there.

Apart from the cost( which I am not really concerned about) would it not be better to apply for the visa in person since my wife will be with me and she might be able to answer some questions(if ask) which the agent will not be able to answer?

Maestro Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 ... Be warned that there is a new Consul at Penang who seems to be very strict. I understand that the Consul who was more than very strict, ie imposed unreasonable conditions not listed on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was already booted out some months ago and his replacement applies standard procedures. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
