Any advice on names/ addresses/Tel #’s of guesthouses or 2 star hotels near the Penang, KL or Singapore Embassy/Consulates?

Were helping many domestic workers get work permits and the different employers sponsoring them are looking for low cost housing for one night in the respective towns while the employee wait for the non B visa.

Thanks in advance

For KL we'd recommend something in the area of KL Sentral which is a train and bus hub. This area is predominantly Indian and full of clean and safe 2-star places. Lodging should start at 50 to 60 Ringgit per night for a small private room. Dormitory-style accomodations for large parties may be even cheaper per person.

Your clients can get there quite easily from the airport on the low-cost airport shuttle buses (allow 70 to 90 minutes) which cost from 6 to 10 Ringgit one way as a rule. To visit the Thai Embassy is a 5 or 6 station ride (less than 15 minutes) from KL Sentral then a 10 minute walk costing 2 Ringgit one-way.

In Singapore the cheapest accomodations tend to be in the Geylang area. The mass transit stop there is easily reachable from the airport and generally takes no more than half an hour. Again plenty of 2-star accomodations and the Thai Embassy is 15-20 minutes away by train and then a 5 minute walk along Orchard Road.

In Penang the value accomodations are in Georgetown proper and a taxi would be recommended as it's a walk of up to half an hour to the Thai Consulate.

We would be glad to give you more specific recommendations and advice, but can't post them publicly as it would tend to expose our agents' movements. Please contact us by email if we may further assist you.
