I am having the hardest time deciding where to go for my Next NON-B application this coming weekend (8th July).

Maybe im being too anal about it and thinking too much, but since i cant decide I shall let the forum decide for me, well atleast guide me.

You may have your own reasons for choosing one of the above, maybe the curries are tastier in Penang, maybe looking at the Petronas Towers inspires you, or the airhostess' on the AirAsia flight to Singapore are cuter, etc... Whatever the reason be, it would be great if you could put it down in a reply to this post.

Thanks a heap!

Penang is always a good choice and Airasia now flies there.  My second choice would probably be KL.  I would avoid Cambodia and Laos.

Anyone used an agent at Penang to try and get a NON-B processed the same day?

Is it at all possible? or just something the agents claim to get more money from you?

I had obtained a Non-B visa from KL last September, based on the fact that I was going to get a WP soon from a company in BKK. I never did apply for a WP based on that NON-B as there were some problems to be sorted out in discussions with the company.

Also I utilised all possible extensions on that Non-B, hoping to be able to use it eventually. Finally since nothing worked out i had to leave the country and came back with a 30 day stamp.

Now the company is again willing to give me a WP, and also the necessary documents for a NON-B first.

My main concern is whether I can go back to KL and apply for a new NON-B, keeping in mind that i had been there september of last year for the same reason, and also it was the same company sponsoring.

So, do you guys feel that i can go ahead to KL to apply, and my previous trip there should have no impact on this one? or it would be safer to apply from a new consulate such as Penang, or if there are any other suggestions.

Appreciate all the advice I can get on this.

Thanks a lot.

(and if it matters, i hold a UK passport.)

thanks for your reply.

yes, i have found out what the paper work is required and am getting that taken care of by the company.

if everythign is in order, then which is the most convenient consulate/embassy to go to, in terms of time and ease of getting there.

Hello all,

This is my first post here and I have to say this site is great!

Tons of information and useful tips...

I am looking to apply for Work Permit in Bangkok, and have understood I need to get my Non-B visa first, and then come back here and can apply for the WP.

Can you please suggest which city/consulate is the best/hassle free and quickest to get to and from BKK? The 2 places that come to mind after reading through this forum is Penang and KL.

Ive also read about the visa agents in Penang. Can they safely process a NON-B? and by using an agent is there more guarantee of getting the visa, since they would have some 'friends' / 'influence' on the inside?

Also can anyone confirm on getting a NON-B back the same afternoon/evening of applying in Penang, as i saw mention of that in soem posts, but nothing concrete? I dont mind paying the extra bit if that is indeed possible.

I would apprecaiate evevry bit of information you have to offer, and also ASAP!

I will have to leave Bkk no later than 7th July and so need to figure it all out by then.

Thanks in adavance for your help.
