KEY INFORMATION

All international students are required to have a valid Student Pass and Visa while studying at Taylor’s University. 

 

Those who are holding the Diplomatic Pass or Malaysian Permanent Residents (PR) - with Malaysian identity cards, Residence Pass – Talent (RP) as well as those with MM2H and Dependent Pass (with Permission to Study Stamp/Letter from Immigration) are exempted from applying the Student Pass and Visa.  You are required to apply the student pass through the Taylor’s International Office. However should there be any changes in the policies set by the Malaysian Immigration Department and Ministry of Education (MOE), it is pertinent that students abide with the conditions set.

Since February 2013, the Malaysia Ministry of Education has established Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS) as the one-stop centre to process the student pass of all international students studying in private institutions in Malaysia.

New Student Pass Application

New Student Pass Application

Please ensure that your passport has a validity of at least 18 months. Once Taylor’s receives all required documents from you, the International Office (IO) will submit your student pass approval application to EMGS. EMGS will thoroughly vet your application and qualification. If you are eligible, EMGS will endorse your application and submit to Immigration for final approval.

If Immigration approves, you will be issued the Visa Approval Letter (VAL). EMGS will notify Taylor’s to collect the VAL once it’s ready. Taylor’s will then notify you and send the VAL to you. The whole process of the student pass application may take approximately 8 weeks. This duration is just estimation and it is dependent on EMGS and Immigration.

Single Entry Visa (SEV) with VAL reference is required for selected nationalities entering Malaysia as a student.
