congrats can you specify time line to get val and sev in order to understand for others
-
I got VAL in 14 days. SEV in 7 days. Timeline varies based on country, Institute and most importantly flawless application and Documents. My experience with EMGS says, they’re doing their job at level best provided we have done our part properly
-
Great I hope UTP will do best for me in order to speed up the process until now i m at zero since 1 week
-
-
-
Congrats, how did you get your SEV, is it from the Malaysian Embassy or what, would you explain the rules please
-
Based on your country if SEV is required for you to enter into Malaysia, you need to get it from Embassy. Either thru Consultant or direct.
I applied directly to OSC Centre of Malaysian Embassy in Chennai-
Why didn’t you apply for eVisa? The processing is very simple…you don’t need to go any agent or OSC centre.. It will save time and money both..
-
Isn’t eVisa supposed to be for social visit? The SEV has ‘to obtain student pass’ written on it. I’m confused as well. I’m about to apply for SEV on Monday. Any clarification will be appreciated.
-
I assume you have received the VAL alreay as you are planning to apply for SEV. eVisa is SEV as well. Difference between normal Visa and eVisa is there won’t be any sticker/endorsed/seal of Visa in your passport. eVisa will be provided to you through email. You just have to take the print out of the eVisa. eVisa is not applicable for the first…[Read more]

Thank you very much for the prompt reply. This is not my first visit actually. I’ve had too many visits to Malaysia. Almost every single time I’ve travelled using the eVisa. My concern here is the ‘purpose’ of the visa. eVisa is solely for tourism and has to be accompanied by a return air ticket. Will that not be a problem at the immigra…[Read more]

Regarding eNTRI I don’t anything brother.. So I can’t say anything about this.. Sorry brother..
I know what you said brother..
But for study purpose the case of eVisa is different. You don’t have to show the return ticket. In the eVisa it will be clearly mentioned for the issuance of your student pass. I have come to Malaysia on 4th of this month…[Read more]-
Noted bro. Thanks a ton! I’ll call the embassy and double check on Monday. I look forward to seeing you in KL inshallah.

See you in sha Allah!

Great news. If you arrive at Kuala Lumpur airport, in the passport control hall, go to furthermost right counter and ask for the Special Pass.

According to wmgs website, iksd is specifically designed for that purpose.
-
Just bring the ikad and the letter from your uni stating your passport is in renewal process and contact number emergency of uni representative in case road block. In my case Penang no need passport but just bring your ikad just to be sure.
-
IKad does not replace passport. Refer to the EMGS website
-
-
Can I travel to Sarawak on the student visa? Or do I need a separate social visit pass for it?
-
Can ,but make sure u cancel it after u leave Sarawak
-
You can. You will be issued a visa in arrival in Sarawak subject to Immigration’s approval.
-
Thanks Marcus!
-
-
-
-
No you cannot. The iKad is not a replacement travel document. An iKad is only for identification purposes. You still need your passport to travel via air.
-
Sighhh Penang is domestic flight they dont require passport but just to be sure Ikad is not a passport replacement but act as it because students bringing passport everywhere will risk getting passport stolen or misplaced. Hence they issued an ikad act as an identification for intl students without having to bringing passport everywhere.

The validity of SEV starts upon issuance. The Special Pass starts upon your entry to Malaysia. The Multiple Entry Visa starts upon endorsement with the sticker.
-
So student pass validity starts after I get sticker?
-
Yes

Once you get your VAL, apply for an eVisa instead of sticker Visa. eVisa is valid for selected countries

How long did it take you to be from 35% to 70%

Oh hey. Well I’m not sure right now, which phase I was in at 35%. But my application was received to EMGS on 07th January. And now it’s 70%. That took 10 days. Touch wood

Possibly there will be certain group of volunteers in your university to assist you. Try to maintain orientation period. That should be a good chance to be done everything nicely.

Salam brother…
First try to manage accommodation before coming into Malaysia…if you haven’t managed yet…
Then upon your arrival do the post medical screening in any of the panel clinics… After doing the medical screening submit your passport to your University/institute…They will do the rest… you do not have to do any other official works.. -
Yousef I came to Malaysia less than a month ago I ll tell you what I did in details :
1- first thing you have to do is to contact international office at your university and let them know your flight and arrival time
2- They will help you with your post arrival medical check and it should be done in your first week , my advice do it the second…[Read more] -

You should have received your eval at 70%. Download it, go to the Malaysian embassy and get the single entry visa. It is then you can travel.
