Penang Visa Run Questions

[gregchambers]

Hi all,

Can you still get a double entry tourist visa from penang consulate and if so how much does it cost - - and what currency do they want? Brit passport so assume all I need is the usual form, photo and money.

Anyone recommend an hotel under 1000 baht that has a visa agent on the premesis? Will be taking the Thai girlfriend so no additional entertainment needed...

Does Penang Consulate have its own website?

Yes. Twice the cost of a single entry. Malay Ringgit only.

Continental Hotel on Penang Road is very good, has visa agent at front desk and in your price range.

No website for Consulate.

Thanks for quick reply, how much is a single entry then - sorry to be obtruse!

If I knew I would have told you but as I have not had need of a tourist visa from them I don't keep that information handy. Perhaps if you did a search for visas and Penang it might come up. But if you can afford the hotel and the GF don't believe it should be a major problem.

100RM per entry, max of 3 entries. Continental is ok, near all the important stuff. I don't know about the hotel's agent though, I use my own guy, or rather used to.
