Best place for SETV in Malaysia?

[sallecc]

 

I'm in Phuket on our family's annual winter vacation... We decided to stay another month, but my 30-day extension (on 60-day SETV from HK) is ending soon, and I'm not visa-exempt...

 

Thinking to fly to Malaysia for another SETV - which place would be safest bet for quick visa run: KL, Penang or Kota Bharu? (should I go with agency?)

 

My travel history: each year visit Phuket whole Jan+Feb, 1 week in April and 1 week in December.

CurrentSETV is from HK December (Phuket 1 week, then re-entry in January + 30days extension expiring next week).

 

Sorry for too many details, thanks in advance for helpful replies!

 

Cheers,

Alex

Any of the 3 you mentioned would be a good location. Agents are only available in Penang.

Thanks Joe... Easiest route for me would be KL... Hope to hear from anybody who experienced SETV in KL recently?

 

I learned that from 2020 they require online booking in advance, but not sure about any special requirements in KL (in HK they needed only tickets & hotel, nothing else, no bank statements no employer's letters etc).

 

Cheers,

An appointment is needed in KL but they are often available for the same day that you apply. 

Checklist for at tourist visa with a link for appointments is here.
