The Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS) has been monitoring the intake of international students to help reduce the possibility of students working illegally or engaging in criminal activity. Under the new system, international students will only be issued a visa after they have received an offer from a college/university that is approved by the EMGS. They will also verify that students have adequate funds for the duration of their studies.
Additionally, students who have obtained acceptance to study at Malaysian higher education institutions are permitted to bring their immediate family members (spouse and children) to stay with them in Malaysia. Family members are given a social visit pass and are only allowed to stay in Malaysia for the duration of study. It is also advised that you check the requirements to apply at your local Malaysian consulate, embassy or high commission well in advance of your family departure. For further information, see the Immigration Department of Malaysia website or call them at + 60 3 8880 1544 or + 60 3 8880 1404.
