ApplyMalaysia is here to support you through every step of the visa process, ensuring you have a smooth transition to travel or studying in Malaysia.
Tourist Visa for Malaysia
For students and their families who wish to visit Malaysia before committing to study, a tourist visa is often the first option. The requirements for tourist visas vary depending on the traveler’s country of origin. Let’s break down the requirements by region:
1-Visa-Free Entry Countries
Several countries enjoy visa-free access to Malaysia, allowing visitors to stay for a set period without applying for a visa. Citizens of countries such as Japan, South Korea, and some Middle Eastern nations can visit Malaysia without a visa, typically for stays of up to 90 days. This visa-free access is also available for some European countries, including Portugal, and allows short visits, which makes it easy for potential students to explore Malaysia before making study commitments.
2-Visa on Arrival
Malaysia offers a Visa on Arrival (VOA) for citizens of select countries. For instance, Iranian citizens arriving in Malaysia from neighboring countries, such as Thailand or Indonesia, can obtain a VOA for a fee, which typically allows a stay of up to 15 days. This option is particularly useful for those planning short trips or preliminary visits to Malaysia.
3- eVisa
The Malaysian eVisa is available for citizens from a range of countries, including China and certain Middle Eastern countries. This visa is processed entirely online, allowing for a single entry with a 30-day stay, making it convenient for travelers who wish to arrange everything before departure and avoid applying for a visa on arrival.
4- Single-Entry and Multiple-Entry Visa
For travelers from countries that do not have visa-free access, like Russia and some Middle Eastern countries, single-entry or multiple-entry visas are required. A single-entry visa allows one visit, while a multiple-entry visa is typically valid for 3-12 months, enabling multiple visits within the validity period.
Before planning your trip, it’s essential to confirm visa requirements based on your nationality, as Malaysia’s immigration rules may be periodically updated.
Student Visa for Malaysia
For those who wish to pursue education in Malaysia, the Student Visa is the appropriate route. Malaysian student visas are typically issued for the duration of one year, with options for annual renewal. The visa is designed to allow students to focus on their studies without interruption.
The student visa application process involves a few key steps, which ApplyMalaysia assists with at every stage:
Acceptance to a Malaysian Institution
The first requirement is acceptance into a recognized Malaysian school, college, or university. Once accepted, the institution provides the necessary documentation to support the visa application.
1-Application Process
The application for a student visa is generally straightforward but does require submission of specific documents, such as a passport copy, recent photographs, proof of enrollment, and medical reports. Our team at ApplyMalaysia will guide you through these requirements, ensuring each document meets the necessary standards to avoid delays.
2-Visa Approval and Renewal
Upon successful application, the Immigration Department of Malaysia issues the student visa, allowing you to study in the country. Since the visa is typically valid for one year, students need to renew it annually. Our team ensures students understand renewal requirements and deadlines, helping them stay compliant throughout their studies.
3-Multiple-Entry Privileges
The student visa generally includes multiple-entry privileges, allowing students to leave and re-enter Malaysia as needed. This flexibility is beneficial for students who wish to visit family or attend academic conferences abroad during their studies.
