Getting social / budaya visa in KL

[baliexpat]

I am going to apply for my first social / budaya visa in KL or Penang this week. I could probably do it myself, but to save time and trouble I would like to use an agent.

Can anyone recommend a reliable agent in KL or Penang? I presume that the agent organizes your sponsor letter?

And when you extend the visa, do you need to have the same sponsor?

I don't know any agent , but maybe a travel agent can do it .
The process is so easy that it is not necessary an agent .

Ok, thanks. I did read your post. I am thinking now it might be better to organize it myself.

Definitively right. As a matter of fact I should be in KL on monday 16th. If you are around at the same time, let me know. I'll help you.

I just got a 60 day tourist visa for now in Penang. I should be more organized next time to get the sponsorship thing going.

Regarding sponsors, does the sponsor need to show bank account info to immigration?

Never heard about , but it is possible to be requested by immigration because the sponsor is financially responsible for the foreign person . Once my sponsor was questioned about not having an occupation , but the officer was satisfied by the explanation without requiring the bank account statement . Because of that , I believe it is better to be prepared or choose a sponsor with an occupation ( before I got an engineer and now , a policeman , this way no other information regarding the sponsor was requested)
