My friend got a tourist visa in KL today. She had all the required documentation on the checklist:

in and out flight tickets

hotel reservation for duration of stay in Thailand 

copy of passport information page

bank statement ( wasn’t on the required checklist but they took it anyway)

checklist and completed visa form (bring your own visa form or buy it from a guy selling it from his car).

arrived at 8:15 and received queue #52

once the office opened at  9am, it took her 15 minutes.

retuned next day and joined queue of 15 people. Within 5 minutes pickup visa.

 

Noted*

she used the fist copy shop in the hostel across the street. There’re two other copy shops down the hall. I hope the other copy shops are cheaper because she paid 42RM for everything. 

 

She had 5 tourist visa pus 5 VE since 2015. 

5 TV in 4 years is nothing..

I agree, but Penang would probably have given the dreaded "travels frequently to Thailand using tourist visas" stamp along with the visa. I consider it further evidence that Kuala Lumpur is a better place to apply than Penang.
