ZZZ Posted July 10, 2005 Share Posted July 10, 2005 If you would like to live in Malaysia, they have a retirement program similar to the Thai program. The differences are: 1. No age limit 2. You can buy and own land. 3. They let you buy one car exempt from duty and tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bachismo Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 If I wanted to get a non-immigrant B in Penang, how long does it take? Can I get a 1-year visa. Does anyone know what dates they are closed. I want to go the week before the queen's birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe you will receive more than a single entry B visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachismo Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 How many days does it take to get a non-B in Penang? Also does anybody know if the consulate closes before the actual queen's birthday. It is not uncommon for Thais to extend vacations. The consulate doesn't have a website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobfla Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hi, any cheapy rtn air fares BKK to Langkawi? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Udon, to get to Lankawi by air involves flying thru' Penang, which is rather self defeating. Even with Air Asia cheap fares to Penang, this route would be expensive. However Hat Yai to Satun is not expensive by van and from there it's a 2 hour ferry, on a most picturesque route to Kuah (capital of Langkawi)!
