Do you mean renewal? Because VAL stands for visa approval letter. If your question is visa renewal and you have provided all the necessary documents in time it takes 3 weeks or 1 month tops.
Yes all documents were sent out on the 26th of September. And I had to renew my passport so. The whole renewal issue has been long. And I’ve been waiting for a couple of weeks to see the new passport on the EMGS website
1. Did start the process with an old passport? 2. Second are you applying for visa renewal? Or a new visa? Because you mentioned VAL (visa approval letter) which for a new application? Because new application and visa renewal are different and require different documents.
I started the process with a new passport. Cause the old one had expired.
Zii your case is not clear even to me let alone EMGS and immigration which conduct a thorough investigation of your document.
Okay. So there was supposed to be a visa renewal but I couldn’t do that because my passport expired. So I had to apply for a new passport. Of which I did and I sent it in to my university. Then I checked with EMGS and they said it’s still with immigration. And this is for the visa extension with the new passport. So I was asking how long it takes for my new passport to start showing on the website
Now everything is clear. From my experience when everything is in order renewal is a routine process taking 3 weeks or maximum a month. However, if there is any sort of delay because of passport renewal or any other thing then the time becomes really unpredictable.
Oh okay thank you for the clarification. Hope it all goes well. And I’m able to travel to Malaysia
