One quick question, is it better to apply at KL Thai Embassy or Penang Thai consulate??

I emailed and the Penang Thai Consulate replied me faster and told me it would take 5-7 working days. I am Pakistani Passport Holder as well.

And seen many posts about people who have long waiting time when applied in Kuala Lumpur KL.

Got a colleague with a Pakistan passport who is looking to get a non-o visa or extension if possible. His situation:

-> Is married to Thai wife (in Thailand,

-> entered on tourist visa or visa on arrival. Got a non-O 90 day in Bangkok earlier this year in June with an agent. Extended this non-o stamp for 60 days himself, which expires Nov 17th.

He would like to get non-o (single OR multiple) at neighbor consulate (Savannakhet, Laos??) OR possibly try for 1 year extension based on marriage.

Realistically, what are his chances? And what docs does he need?
