What is the Malaysia Student Visa?

The Malaysia Student Pass allows Indian students to study at a Malaysian university, college or school. Before you travel, your chosen institution must obtain approval through Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS), which issues a Visa Approval Letter (VAL).

Once approved, the Student Pass is endorsed in your passport after arrival in Malaysia. The process differs from a tourist visa, so our team guides you through every stage — from the EMGS application to your supporting documents.
