Visa

Application of single entry visa (sev-single entry visa)/(via-visa on arrival) to Malaysia:

Once your application at EMGS is completed and Electronic Visa Approval Letter (eVAL) has been approved by Malaysian Immigration Department, Please DOWNLOAD and PRINT your eVAL from your application status via EMGS website. Effective 15 October 2017, original VAL will not be required to obtain your Single Entry Visa (SEV) from the Malaysian Embassy.

• Students from non-visa required countries such as Commonwealth Countries can proceed to enter Malaysia by producing the eVAL upon arrival. Print your eVAL and offer letter in colour to present to Immigration counter at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) upon arrival. For the complete list of accepted countries, kindly refer to the Visa Application Procedures below.

      (e.g. Canada, UK, The Netherlands,Brunei, Tanzania)

• Students from visa/non-visa required countries without a Malaysian Embassy or Consular Representative are permitted to enter without a Single Entry Visa (SEV) but MUST present the eVAL upon entry and obtain the Visa on Arrival (VOA) at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Please proceed to counter 17 & 18 at Arrival Hall, Level 3 KLIA to obtain VOA stamp. You are required to pay MYR20.00 for fees to obtain your VOA stamp).

(e.g. Yemen,Palestine,Iraq,Somalia,Chad,Libya, Afghanistan,Syria)

• Students from visa required/non-visa required countries with a Malaysian Embassy or Consular Representative in your country MUST obtain the SEV prior to their entry into Malaysia. Students need to print the eVAL in colour and bring along the eVAL to the Malaysian Embassy or Consular Representative (addressed in the eVAL) to apply for the SEV. Please ensure the Embassy writes down the Reference Number (BVP/STU/14XXX/E1000XXXXX1/) into your printed eVAL stating your SEV.

Once you have received your eVAL and obtained the SEV, you may book your flight and make travel arrangements.
