Back to back tourist visas still possible?

[jonaz]

First a little background into my situation.
I was due to activate the 3rd entry of my triple entry tourist visa yesterday but the visa run van didn't show up! (The company is called **** so please steer clear of this company)
Anyway. This means that I am now on overstay. I had planned on staying until January by using and extending that final entry.
If possible, I would like to go to Penang and get another tourist visa but I remember there being a clampdown on back to back tourist visas. Is this still in effect or has it been relaxed?
Last year I had a triple entry tourist visa that expired in October. Then I got a double entry from Vientiane of which I only used 1 entry then returned home to the UK for 2 months due to illness before returning on this current (now expired) triple entry.
So all in all I have 3 tourist visas in my passport already.
Will I be granted another? Will I be let back into the country with it?
Thanks

You have a problem because you did exactly what I suggest people never do. My suggestion is always plan on going the day before your permit to stay ends or your visa expires.

You can get another tourist visa without a problem.

Penang only does single entry visas.

There has been no crackdown on tourist visas only visa exempt entries have been restricted.

Oh ok that's some good news then at least if I can get another.

Lesson learned. I'll plan to go earlier next time if I need another one.

I rang the night before as well just to confirm it was definitely booked.

Poor service on their part.

Thanks for your reply anyway. Much appreciated
