Waiting for imigration to give out the VAL is taking 5 weeks already… How is there still a minimal headcount, with vaccinated rates being >80%, slowing down the progress… My study is ending before I even get my Student Pass. Looks like it’s going to be a big refund of all application fees. Utter disappointment and disbelief. View

    Same issue. Waiting for 5 weeks already. This is absurd.

      Hi,

      Please note that the Immigration Department is operating with a minimal headcount. Therefore, we kindly seek your understanding that applications will be processed accordingly. Rest assured, the institution will be notified if there are further requirements.

      Have a nice day.

    Dear Sir/Madam, although my application for VAL is sent to immigration, i have been waiting for 33 days and still no updates or eVal letter to be downloaded.

    Would you please be able to check if my application is processing as it should?

    With the new extension announced on the FMCO, will immigration start processing VALs again? Officers can work from home instead of delaying processing for 2 months no?

    Any new students on here that have successfully converted a social visit pass to a student pass. EMGS is now asking me to leave the country just to apply for the student pass I already applied for 11 months ago!

    In my case i have been waiting on my student pass since march 2020 with a pending 32% for almost a year. Paid and sat through…[Read more]

      @Olivier Maresch Nah, this kind of comment is needed, otherwise this guy would continue spread his innacurate and negative conclusion to others (look at one of his comment below)

    No email response, and when calling all 3 phone numbers I hear “closed during CMCO” or there is nobody picking up the phone… not even a proper hotline whilst international students are expected to study online with +7 hour time differences?? Everybody is online these days, why not EMGS?! No phones or laptops back home?

    I saw the update on EMGSs facebook just now, that only existing students are allowed in again. Too bad that the recent covid clusters are now resulting into the old flow charts as seen on EMGSs facebook (where ‘new’ students were allowed in) of just a few weeks ago to be thrown out…

    The striking question now is; I have been studying online for…[Read more]

      I have been in Malaysia for nearly 5 years and I’m still classified as ‘ New student’ and I been paying rent since February. There definition of ‘new’ student needs to change

      Hi Olivier,

      If you do not have a Student Pass and are applying for a VAL, then you are still considered a new student.

      Have a nice day.

    Dear EMGS,
    After seeing pictures on the EMGS Division-Facebook of a recent respectable meeting with Imigresen, I was sincerely curious to hear if there was a moment to convey the struggles of all the students affected by this ‘solution’ of online education, and if there was any feedback shared on the matter coming from Imigresen.

    Thank you, and…[Read more]

      Hi Olivier,

      We have not received any update about the issues discussed during the meeting. If there is any information related to international students, we will surely send out a bulletin.

      Have a nice day.

      Hi Olivier,

      We understand your predicament. However, at present, entry for ne students is still on hold. We are unable to provide you with an exact time frame on when new students will be allowed to enter Malaysia. Rest assured, we will notify once there is an update on this matter.

    Has any of you Internationals heard of the ‘Love is not tourism’ initiative here? It being a global group, trying to open up borders for unmarried couples having long-distance relationships, they held an online petition (10.000 signatures) for easing of bans in Malaysia and actually got discussions going in parliament.
