Hi guys

I am married to a thai and I was on a non "o" but due to a problem my visa expired. As it was Songkran, I was only able to obtain a 15 day tourist visa from Pedang Basar which expires on the 26th. . I will be returning to Penang to obtain a single entry non "o" based on marriage to a thai and then restart my visa application in Thailand.

My question is after obtaining the single entry from Penang, if for whatever reason, my non "o" application was refused in Thailand, would I still be able to return to Kuala Lumpar to try for a multi entry "o" visa or would I have exceeded any limits for entry? If that was the case, what would be my alternatives ?

Of course, ideally I would like to obtain the multi entry "o" visa from Penang and I am sure I could meet whatever criteria they might ask for but apparently they only issue those particular visas in KL which is my second choice of destination as I will be traveling with my wife and have heard that Penang is a far nicer place to visit.

Thanks for any advice

Your permission to stay expired I believe - not your visa (which is only used for entry).

You obtained a 15 day visa exempt entry.

You should be able to obtain single entry non immigrant O and extend as done previously.

If that failed for some reason and you have 100k in bank account you could obtain multi entry non immigrant O visa from KL under current policy. Number of visas is not of concern for that.
