EbhB Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Does anyone have recent experience or knowledge from how Penang handles applications for 1 year non-B these days? I will apply there in 2-3 weeks, on an existing 1 month work permit. Will I need a WP-3 for the coming year, or is the still valid 1 month work permit enough? (When it comes to the work permit itself I will get a period of 1 year when I renew, we are just trying to get a 1 year non-B visa before then) Is there any chance that I will only get 90 days? Or is there anything I could do to avoid that? A contact of mine is there right now, following the same setup, will come back with news when I get any ????

ubonjoe Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 As far as I know Penang still wants to see a work permit valid for 7 or 8 months. Are you are the owner or major shareholder of the company. If not you will not get a multiple entry non-b visa in Penang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbhB Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 I'm owner & director yes ???? Its not completely necessary to get a 1 year visa I guess, can extend once I return, but would be great to get it! Could anything back up or replace a work permit longer than then one I got now?

ubonjoe Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 You could apply for an extension of your current work permit. You do not to have a one year visa to do the application. There is no other option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EbhB Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Of course, you are right about that.. The issue might be that my arrangement will need a fresh 90 day non-B to get a 1 year work permit, not sure about those details but will try to check! It all comes down to getting this company up & running with a natural turnover for the first year AND get a 1 year extension at the same time ???? So far so good, everything has happened as planned - and I guess the chances of me not getting a 90 day non-B are very low, will have an active WP after all...
