TV friends, I am kindly asking for your advice on the following.

I am considering going to Penang to apply for (renew) a new multiple-entry non-immigrant 'O' visa at the Royal Thai Consulate over there.

Here is my current situation:

* I am less than 50 year old

* I do not have a Thai spouse

* I have already obtained a multiple-entry non-immigrant 'O' visa (1 year validity) twice at the Thai Embassy in France: in 2005 (still valid but about to expire), and in 2004.

I am aware that getting this visa in my situation is a bit dodgy, but it has worked (twice) in the past.

I have never been to the Thai consulate in Penang, but I have read in this forum that things are smoother over there compared to most other Thai embassies/consulates in the region.

What are my chances of being successful in Penang?

Pretty well zero I'm afraid :o

None of the local embassies / consulates are issuing 'O' visas for anything other than support of Thai spouse or child.

Don't forget that you can get a final 90 day entry on your current visa if you do a border run just before the 'use by' date on the visa.

Many thanks to the contributors.

Well, from the feedback received so far, it looks like a visa trip to Penang is pointless in my case. Unless there are suggestions for a better place in the region, I'll probably head back to Europe in a couple of months to apply for a new non-Imm 'O'.
