Your Visa Journey β From Application to Arrival
π Understanding Your Visa Process
Studying in Malaysia starts with a student visa, and weβre here to support you every step of the way. At BCLC, your visa journey begins with EMGS (Education Malaysia Global Services), a government-approved agency that helps international students apply for study visas.
Once your application is approved by EMGS, it moves to the Immigration Department of Malaysia, where your Visa Approval Letter (VAL) is issued. Youβll only be able to travel to Malaysia once the Immigration VAL is received.
Weβll help you at every step β from EMGS submission to visa tracking, eVISA application, and arrival support.
