Help! Need A New Multi-entry Non Im B Visa!

Hi everyone - sorry if this might have been covered in the middle of topics and threads, but I've searched and can't find any up-todate info.

I'm just about to finish my first Non Im B visa. I'm gainfully employed (work permit - pay tax) and I've just heard that Penang isnow only issuing 90 day visas (correct me if I'm wrong!)

If I have to renew my visa (and also preseumably my work permit?) every 90 days, then I'm going to end up with zero wages.

Where's the nearest friendly country where I can get a multiple entry non im B visa? (one year)

Any advice on the best way to get there and places to stay while my application is being sorted?

Many thanks,

Rob
