What is an iKad?

The iKad is an identification card for foreign students and can be used as a means of identification in Peninsular Malaysia. The iKad will only be issued after the Student Pass is endorsed in the passport. Please note that the iKad is not a replacement travel document.

Each iKad will contain the following information:

1. Student Photograph

2. Passport Number

3. Nationality of the student

4. Name of the student’s Institution

5. Duration of the Student Pass

How do I apply for an iKad?

The application for the iKad will be done at the time the new Visa Approval Letter application or Renewal application is made. A fee of RM50 is included in the application fees.

What happens if I lose or damage my iKad?

In the event that the iKad is lost or damaged, the following fees will apply:

– For Lost/Damaged iKad (1st request) – RM150
– For Lost/Damaged iKad (2nd request for the same student) – RM300
