Student Visas for Malaysia

Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa…

Don’t worry, everything is under control. We’re doing all we can to make your search for the perfect international degree in Malaysia easier and more enjoyable. Meanwhile, you can get a head start and:

 

Check if you really need a student visa.
Since you’re from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in Malaysia, yes, you will definitely need a student visa.

 

Start exploring the official Malaysian visa information.
For Bangladeshi applicants, student visa applications are usually processed through Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS), in collaboration with the Malaysian Embassy in Dhaka. That’s where the most up-to-date and reliable info is. Bookmark it, read it, and read it again.

 

Check the deadlines.
The visa process can take several weeks. Missing an appointment or a required document could delay your visa and cause you to miss the start of your studies — not a twist you want in your story.

 

Prepare your paperwork carefully.
Make sure you have all the essentials, such as:

  • Valid passport

  • Acceptance letter from a Malaysian institution (approved by the Ministry of Higher Education)

  • Completed visa application form (usually via the EMGS online system)

  • Passport-size photos

  • Proof of accommodation in Malaysia

  • Proof of financial support

  • Academic transcripts and certificates

  • Language proficiency proof (English, usually through IELTS or equivalent)

  • Medical report from an approved panel clinic

  • Visa Approval Letter (VAL) issued by EMGS

  • Motivation letter or interview confirmation (if required)

Start saving up.
You will need to prove you can support yourself financially throughout your stay. This includes tuition fees, living expenses, visa processing fees, and day-to-day costs in Malaysia.

Improve your English skills.
Most programmes in Malaysia are offered in English. Strong English skills will help you with your studies, student visa interviews (if required), and adapting to life in Malaysia. Some institutions may also require a minimum IELTS or TOEFL score.

 

All in all, getting your Malaysian student visa may seem like a big task — but it’s one crucial step toward an amazing new adventure.

Good luck and stay confident!
