We were fortunate to get a SETV in KL back in November, but had all supporting documents including bank account statements, marriage cert and a letter from my husbands accountant saying he had a business at home ( Northern Ireland) which he would need to return to . We even brought the kids birth certs!

No problems for us but tht is not to say it is the same for everyone, I just want to say that KL do issue some visas

Are either you or your husband a Thai national?

If you don't me asking.

Yup thank you for that clarification.

It seems that you have met all the requirements currently listed on the Royal Thai Embassy Kuala Lumpur website, including proof of employment and marriage certificate.

Actually, you haven't entirely, because the letter was from the accountant and the bank statement still not clear if it was original or copy, but the Embassy used their discretion and issued you with a single entry tourist visa.

So it seems after all that the website may not be as inaccurate as some may have thought.

And the poster that was calling my posts nonsense should read that website again. Here. I will reattach the link.

So yeah, the message is pretty clear to me: if you're a couple travelling extensively around SE Asia for example and you have all those documents and you happen to be in KL give it a try.

Or perhaps if you have a Thai wife, that could be considered as a compelling reason if you don't qualify for a marriage visa or you wish to apply for it in the future.

Or if you are about to apply for an ED visa and you don't have all the docs yet for a non ED or you don't want an ED visa which is also fine. You can go to school on tourist visas.

However, if you're a single traveller doing a visa run to KL because you got bored of Vientiane, KL is not the place to go.

At least that's how i see it.

What's also interesting, is that on the other thread about the visa in Cambodia issue, the embassy also wants to see a compelling reason. Such as a Thai wife. I wonder if a Thai bank book with a hefty balance will do.

It should, i mean isn't this what they want, tourists that send a lot of money here and spend it all?

Hi. I asked an agent in Chulia Street Penang about tourist visa Today.

told me if I have got one single entry visa and double entry visa already in my passport

Consulate refuse to my apply . The agent said Three entry is limit in Penang.

Anybody has got 4th TR visa in Penang? Sorry for my poor English.

Can you please clarify: was this limit only with previous tourist visas issued in Penang, or does this also take into account tourist visas issued elsewhere? If the former, does this apply only to back-to-back visas issued in Penang (ie does a tourist visa issued elsewhere reset the count)?

The agent never asked where and when I take visa,so not sure...

However Consulate in Penang never give us double entry visa,

so the agent should knows double entry visa from any other Consulate I supposed

If you are using one of the two well known agents in Penang then you would do well to take account of what they are saying.

If you doubt what you are hearing then simply make your application, in person, at the Consulate.

You should be able to get a tourist visa from the Penang Consulate.

I believe the other visas will be disregarded as they were not issued in Penang.

You and I are in much the same situation. I have one single from Penang ,one double from Vientiane .

I asked also visa run company in Phuket, they said three entry is no problem,4th is 50-50 which means gambling

the agent in penang also told me need call for the latest information...I was waiting for your report.

If you are still in KUL,fly to Vientiane is one of the choices or call to agent in Penang for make sure

I am not English speaker,so It has been a misunderstanding. I hope you will take SETV Good Luck!

BTW how much they charge in Jim's place or banana guesthouse for assisting to make a visa?

Sorry just to clarify, OP.

If your passport is clean, service charge is 30 RM.

If not, it's 450 ( four five zero).

Did I understand that right? Just wanna make sure you did not mean 45.
