Visa processing by embassies may be delayed due to the year-end high season. We recommend applying early and adjusting your travel date. And due to the U.S. Embassy’s closure on 27 November 2025 for Thanksgiving Day, please note that U.S. visa processing may be delayed.
The Visa Approval Letter is intended for mobility students who have received an Offer Letter or Letter of Acceptance from a Malaysian Public University or Private Higher Education Institution to participate in a student exchange, short course, double-degree program, or other short-term study programs. This VAL is only applicable to new students who are currently residing outside of Malaysia.
If the application is approved, you will receive the VAL and the EMGS Approval Letter. Once you have both documents, you are required to obtain a Student Single Entry Visa (SEV) prior to your departure to Malaysia. Click here to apply for SEV through SPUN.
