Am just in Penang at the moment to get Non B Visa (successful), however friends who are here alongside many others are being rejected tourist visas. 7 in the hotel i am staying in yesterday- today not know how many- other hotels,agencies again numbers are not know. Reason being they are told that no longer can you have a 30 day extension from Thailand. This has only been implied i was told during the last 2 months.

This information is only what i have been told by the hotel and by people that have been rejected- i am sure others who have returned from Penang recently can update/advise others.

*On another note, Monday and Tuesday forthcoming Embassy in Penang is shut for Ramadan.

Thanks.

Hello,

Was it hard to get a non B in penang, did they ask a lot of paperwork?

Did you do it yourself or did you you use a agent

Hello, No not hard, i was missing one document that could have been a problem but confirmed today processing with no problems.

Yes, used an agent- less hassle.

but you got only 3 month, not one year right?

For one year non-B in Penang your company must have 8 million baht registered capital.

Kuala Lumpur is best for 1 year non-B, but you must have at least 8 months validity in your work permit.

Correct, 3 month Non B.

only 8 people from my hotel were rejected tourist visas yesterday!!- not sure on other hotels/agencies.

I was just in Kota Baharu Malaysia last week and got my Non B one year Multiple visa in one day. No hassle and no agent. I did it my self. 5,000 baht Easy….

The Embassy is closed on Friday and Saturday

'Reason being they are told that no longer can you have a 30 day extension from Thailand. This has only been implied i was told during the last 2 months.'

this has been going a while, land borders 30 day stamp is now 15 and you can only get 4 a year. Still 30 days if entering by plane.

Thanks for the info. Can I just clarify? Those who have a 2 month Tourist Visa with the 1,900baht 1 month extension from a Thai immigration office cannot now get another 2 month Tourist Visa after the extension has expired. Is that correct? Do you know about people who had a 2 month Tourist Visa with no extension?

Actually there is no such limit on the number of border entries you can make - but after four they may start to question your reasons.
