Registration of a Thai visa in Kuala Lumpur
Once in Kuala Lumpur, they tightened the screws and did not betray tourist visas, so everyone went to Penang, this too Malaysia, an island, and there are flights from Thailand. But since the end of 2017 , the visa in Kuale again can be obtained. Yes, it needs more documents than in Laos, but they are quite realistic to do.
The cost of the visa and the time of the consulate
From February 6, 2019 you need to sign up via the Internet (at the very bottom page link) to the reception at the consulate. Since it was just introduced, I cannot say how it will work in fact and whether let those without electronic queue.
Consular fee: 150 RM (ringit) for single entry tourist visa.
You can apply for a visa at the Thai consulate from 09:30 to 11:30 You can pick up a visa on the next working day from 14:30 to 16:30
You can submit documents to 10, if not during the peak season – There should not be a queue. In the peak season, it is better to come to 9, not later than. Yes, many people write, they say, the queue is small, do not coming early, but there was such a case in January: at 9.40 are over. And then not far from the entrance the taxi driver will offer check in line for tomorrow for 100 RM.
The main thing is to go inside before 11:30 and on will be taking documents to the last person. For visa queues in general no, just come to the specified interval.
Single-entry tourist visa for 3 months in total. Is given first for 60 days, and another 30 days can be extended to Thailand itself. Extension costs 1900 baht.
When planning your visit to Malaysia, check the opening hours, and most importantly, the days the work of his consulate (Official Holidays). Keep in mind that their traditional holidays do not always coincide with ours, and the usual the working day may be a weekend (or even long weekends), and then you should be at the closed door of the consulate several days.

How to get to the consulate of Thailand
The Embassy and Consulate of Thailand in Kuala Lumpur is located on Address: 206 Jalan Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur.
The transportation network in Kuala Lumpur is very well developed, and The embassy is located in the city center, so get to it from any point is not difficult. The most convenient way to go on Metro – station Ampang Park, next after KLCC (green line Kelana Jaua Line). If you go to Uber or Grabtaxi, just show the taxi driver the address.
From Jalan Ampang junction with Jalan Tun Razak to the east about 500m, go to the left, go through the French Embassy, Volkswagen Motor Show, followed by the Rozel Motor Show, police booth and immediately behind it is a gray trellis gate and a sign saying that you reached the consular department of the Thai Embassy. On the other side roads, chud further in motion – Holiday Villa hotel.

The actual cost of the visa
It makes sense to calculate the cost of the entire trip to Malaysia – flight, accommodation, meals, unforeseen expenses. Here are a few numbers, as I did:
– Fly to Malaysia by AirAsia, Bangkok – Kuala Lumpur and back – about 4000 baht per person. It may be cheaper for stock – Hotel accommodation in Kuala Lumpur – about 1,500 baht in day. There are cheaper, but there everything can be scary. – Food at 100 baht and up for one dish, if you eat at an inexpensive cafes.
Total, my expenses for transporting the bodies and for the stay of these in 4 days in Malaysia, amounted to – 10,000 baht. If you fly only for the day just for the visa, it will be less. But I was interested and by city to see.
Why is it worth doing a Thai visa in Malaysia:
– You live in Thailand on the border with Malaysia. – Fly to Malaysia cost you very cheap, for example, bought Phuket tickets – Kuala Lumpur shares. – You want to see Kuala Lumpur.
Where to eat cheap and tasty in Kuala Lumpur
If you are reading this article, then you are most likely going for Thai visa, which means you will pass by the mall Ampang Park, which is located right next to the metro of the same name. Same it is also 5 minutes walk from the Petronas Twin Towers (Petronas Tower) or from the KLCC subway station, which is actually the same thing.
On the third floor of the Ampang Park shopping center there is a good place Food Court, where you can eat cheap and tasty. It works, however, only hours until 6pm. Food Court is a large number mini-cafes on the same square, as it happens in Russia in shopping centers. Prices for Malaysia are very good – 4-8 RM per portion.

Visa registration in Penang
A separate item. The visa can still be issued in Penang, it is also Malaysia. Usually they travel from a travel agency to a vizaran overland, it turns out faster and sometimes cheaper than in Kuala Lumpur. But here we must look specific prices for air tickets to compare.
Cost of
Vizaran is worth – 3,800 baht (travel on two mini-buses, a hotel, breakfast, coffee / tea all day, dinner, breakfast and dinner) The cost of a visa – 1500 baht
200 baht – not to go to the embassy, and the visa will be brought to the hotel 100 baht – entry to Malaysia 200 baht – photo 200 baht – ala bribe customs officer for that he did not check the required amount of money for departure
Total: 6000 baht / person
List of documents
– Passport with emigration card – 2 photos 3.5 * 4.5 (you can take a picture at the hotel + 200 baht / person) – Flights to departure from Thailand to any country – Apartment rental agreement, where every person who receives a visa is listed (I don’t know about children Do I need to specify them) I heard that in other cities they asked for a scan Landlord ID of your apartment.
I also want to tell everyone, check the date of the stamp is direct to the border. The customs officer can inadvertently put on 1 month, instead of 2. But then in the local Thai immigrant it will be possible also correct.
The address of the Thai consulate in Malaysia is Penang (just in case): No. 1, Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, 10350 Penang.
