Applicants cannot enter Malaysia on a Tourist Visa, as the Immigration Department does not convert the Social Visa to a Student Pass. If you are from a country that requires a Single Entry Visa (SEV) to enter Malaysia you are required to proceed to the Malaysian Embassy in your home country and apply for the SEV upon receipt of the eVAL.
However, if you are from a country that does not require the SEV you can proceed to arrange for your travel to Malaysia. Kindly note that you are required to present your VAL at the point of entry.
