Admission and Visa |
|
| |
Getting admission in a Malaysian college is quite simple. But you will have to start the process 3 months before the course starts. There are usually 2 to 3 intakes in a year, which are generally in Feb or July. The visa again is the least of your problems. You have to pay only Rs. 650 for visa, and other formalities will be taken care of by the Malaysian Institution in which you enrolled.
Any person wishing to enter Malaysia must possess a valid national Passport or internationally recognised Travel Document valid for travel to Malaysia. Anyone who is not in possession of a Passport or Travel Document which is recognized by the Malaysian Government, must obtain a Document in lieu of Passport. Application for the Document in lieu of Passport can be made at any Malaysian Representative Office abroad. Holders of Travel Documents like a Certificate of Identity, Laisser Passer, Titre de Voyage or a Country’s Certificate of Permanent Residence must ensure that their return to the country which issued the document or the country of residence is guaranteed. The documents shall be valid for more than six (6) months from the date of entry into Malaysia. |
