Immigration pass for international students aged 3-35 pursuing full-time education at approved Malaysian institutions, valid for up to 1 year and renewable annually.
The Student Pass (Pas Pelajar) is Malaysia's mandatory immigration authorization for foreign students pursuing full-time education at recognized institutions. Issued through Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS), it covers all academic levels from pre-school to postgraduate. Applicants need an official Letter of Offer, 18+ months passport validity, medical screening, and a personal bond.
The pass lasts 365 days and renews annually. Processing takes 14 working days. Total fees are MYR 609. Higher education students at public universities may work part-time up to 20 hours/week (restaurants, hotels, petrol stations, mini markets) with Immigration approval. Master's and PhD students may bring dependents (spouse, children under 18, parents); dependents cannot work.
