HOW TO APPLY
Prepare Required Documents & Complete Application Form
The first step in your visa application process is to prepare your documents.Â
Once your documents are ready, upload them together with your Student Application Form.
We will then send you an invoice for your visa application fee. We will submit your documents to the Immigration Department of Malaysia after this invoice has been paid.
The evaluation process normally takes 4-6 weeks to complete. You will receive a Visa Approval Letter (VAL) if the application is successful.
Apply for a Single Entry Visa (SEV)
After receiving your approval letter, you will need to travel to Malaysia for your medical examination and complete the rest of your student visa application process.
In order to make this journey, you will need to first apply for a Single Entry Visa (SEV).
The SEV can be obtained online from the following website:Â
Travel to Malaysia
After you have received your single entry visa, it is now time to purchase your tickets and travel to Kuala Lumpur!
The Malaysian government requires that our staff meet you at the airport arrival hall and assist you in clearing immigration.
You will not be allowed to exit the airport immigration area unless accompanied by the school’s representative.
Therefore, it is extremely important that you complete our Airport Pickup Form no later than two weeks before your arrival.
If required, we can also arrange transportation that will take you from the airport to your accommodation.
Medical Examination
Once you have reached Malaysia, you are required to be examined by an EMGS panel doctor.
This must be done within seven days of your arrival.
Details about this process will be given by our International Student Support officer on the day of your arrival.
Receive Your Student Visa & Start Learning!
After your medical report is ready, our International Student Support Officer shall submit it together with your passport to EMGS for endorsement.
Once endorsed, your passport will be returned to you with your Student Pass attached to one of its pages.
That’s it! You are now a Infinity Edu student and all set to start learning with us!
