Report To Student Welfare Centre

New international students must report to the Student Welfare Centre after their arrival in Malaysia (refer to the calendar and schedule in the Orientation Guides for respective intakes) at Block B, Level 1.

The following needs to be done at the Student Welfare Centre:

_Notes:

1. Students are given seven (7) days to settle such matters after which they must hand in passports to International Office for endorsement at the Immigration Department.
2. Students are advised not to make travel plans out of Malaysia during this time.
3. Failure to hand in passports for endorsement may result in students overstaying their current visit passes or be classified as illegal immigrants by the Malaysian Immigration Department.

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.
