Student & Dependent Pass Services for International Students in Malaysia

The Student Pass is a visa that allows international students to live and study legally in Malaysia while attending a recognised school, college, university, or training institution. It provides the student with legal residency for the duration of their studies.

For families, Malaysia also offers a Dependent Pass, which enables the student’s spouse, children, or parents (subject to eligibility and approval) to stay in Malaysia together during the study period. This arrangement allows families to remain united while their child or family member pursues education in Malaysia providing safety, comfort, and peace of mind.

We assist with both Student Pass and Dependent Pass applications, ensuring a smooth and well-supported transition for students and their families.

We had established collaborations with international schools and colleges across Malaysia allow our clients to enjoy added support and smoother transition arrangements during the enrolment process. This helps families settle in with ease and confidence when entering Malaysia’s education system.

The Student Pass is required for all international students pursuing full-time studies in Malaysia. This includes:

  • Public or private schools

  • Colleges and universities

  • Language and training centres

  • Skills-development or vocational institutes

  • Certain dependants of expatriates (subject to approval)

The pass allows legal residence in Malaysia for the duration of study and must be obtained before commencing classes.

Eligible international students may apply for a Dependent Pass for their immediate family members, such as:

  • Spouse

  • Children under 18 (or under 21 in some cases)

  • Parents (subject to Immigration approval)

This enables families to stay together throughout the student’s academic journey in Malaysia.
