Entry visa no longer a requirement for Maldivian students in Malaysia

Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that Maldivian students wishing to study in Malaysia are no longer required to obtain entry visa.

This comes following a revision by Malaysian Immigration Authority of a regulation introduced in January 2014, whereby Maldivian students wishing to study in Malaysia were required to apply for entry visa upon receiving the student visa approval letter.

Students who had received the student visa approval letter prior to the introduction of the regulation in January 2014 were not required to apply for entry visa.
