As an
international student studying in Malaysia you will be granted a student
pass and visa for a year (or part of a year), depending on the country which
issues your passport. You are personally responsible for the timely submission
of the documents to obtain/renew your student pass.
New regulations for international students studying in Malaysia
The
Ministry of Higher Education of Malaysia via its private arm Education Malaysia
Global Services (EMGS) has enacted several new measures in order to streamline
and facilitate visa processes for international students who wish to enroll at
Higher Education Institutions in Malaysia.
As part
of these new arrangements, EMGS will now coordinate the International Student’s
Pass (Visa), the provision of Medical Insurance and the arrangements for health
checks. To cover the costs associated with providing this service, EMGS has
imposed a number of new charges which amount to a minimum of RM1830 for all new
applications and a minimum of RM950 for the renewal of a student pass. The
University has agreed to share part of the additional costs as part of our commitment
to supporting international students to study at the University of Nottingham
Malaysia Campus.
Obtaining and renewing your student pass

You must
submit your passport and other documents to the student Visa Office 7 weeks

There will be a separate charge for the extension of the student pass and multiple entry visas. Students will bear the extra charges or compound for late submission of documents.

Identification documents
You must carry your
original passport with you at all times. The immigration Enforcement
Officers conduct random checks at public places.
If you decide not to carry your original passport (when visiting places near campus), make sure you carry a certified true copy of your passport and your UNMC student ID card.
