Salam.

Finally, after 11 days (calendar) of waiting, my passport is now in immigration.

Another question. What if the length of the endorsement process in immigration exceeds the length of my SEV? Any suggestion on what is the best action I should take now? Should I apply for another temporary visa?

FYI, I arrived in Malaysian on the 1st of march, and My SEV will expire on the 30th of march. Based on my understanding, if it is required 14 working days to process the sticker, my passport will be able to collect around mid-April, leading to another two weeks without a valid pass (overstay period).

Also, since the first day of my arrival in Malaysia, I never stop on about this matter with the visa unit at my uni and EMGS. Most of the time, they will answer the queries with a ‘just waiting’ response. I understand that the visa student application has been increased in past months but giving the students with fewer options will not be good as well.

Hope to hear more explanation very soon
Thank you.

  Hi Aria,
  
  If your current pass expires whilst your passport is with the Immigration Department, you are not required to obtain another pass since the passport is in progress for the endorsement process. However, if the Immigration Department requires a new valid pass, you will need to apply for the pass. In the meantime, just allow the Immigration Department to complete the endorsement process.
  
  Have a nice day.

    Well noted.
    
    I do hope that the process will go smoothly based on timeline. But i also believe that the process time (from UNI TO EMGS TO IMMIGRATION) should not be that far until cause another additional pass.
    
    Just for future suggestion, if 30 days is not the proper time for student to finish their visa (meaning that EMGS PANEL CLINIC/uni/EMGS/IMMIGRATION need more time to create student pass sticker), granting 30-days special pass should be revised at first.
    
    We know that it involves several parties but alocating limited time won’t make it the process better.
    
    Thank your response.
