Please Give Me Your Opinion On Kuala Lumpur Or Penang

[BKS22]

Greeting all,

Next week I will need to do a run out of BKK for my first Non-Imm B Visa for a job offer I have received here in Thailand. My company has basically given me a choice of KL or Penang to accomplish this.

My question is for those that have been to one or both cities....is do you have a preference? I would like to take 2-3 days to enjoy a little time in which ever city I end up choosing, so this can be your overall preference based on extracurricular activities such as site seeing, food, pubs, nightlife, etc., not just on your Visa experience...however feel free to chime in on that as well.

Any recommendation or "tips" in regards to this visa run for a Non-Imm B would be greatly appreciated. For example, reasonably priced hotels in a good central location???

Cheers & thanks in advance,

BK

I don't know....the HR Manager just said these would be the easiest. Do they have to prepare their documentation any differently for different Embassies? I've never done this before.

Yes, they do write the 'front' letter either to the Embassy or to the Consulate in Penang.

Thanks noob7...At this point I believe it will be KL.

Anyone with any good recommendations for there?

Penang has better Indian Food than KL and is a much more quaint and interesting place to visit (George Town that is); there are plenty of agencies there in Chulia street who can take care of the visa application for a small fee. as the Thai Consulate is a bit out in the woods.

KL is a modern city with facilities to match, the Thai Consulate is easily reached via the Metro System, and a short walk.

If you go to Penang for a Single Entry 90 day Non Immigrant Category 'B' Visa then you would be well advised to also get the 'Letter of Acceptance' from Labour in addition to the normal A5 sized WP3 Receipt as Penang will ask for it.
