    Mohammed Abu Risha (PhD student at USM) posted an update 5 months, 2 weeks ago

    Dear colleagues
    I’ve noticed that someone is impersonating an Emgs officer and is asking users to talk to them through a Gmail address. Be careful. The inquiry address of emgs is known to be at the emgs Malaysia domain not through a Gmail or through any other service.

    Let us report that imposter to protect our safety.

    (P.s. I am a student like you)

    Hi Emgs. Can a student apply for an eval while he is still in Malaysia?

    Mohammed Abu Risha (PhD student at USM) posted an update 7 months, 3 weeks ago

    Dear EMGS
    Someone told me, a student can apply for the eval if he is inside Malaysia on a social pass provided that he must exit, get a single entry visa then come back with an eval. Is this informaiton correct? My understanding is that emgs has a tool to detect where an eval appluicaiton is submitted and as such it will decline any application…

    Hello colleagues

    I have been away from the emgs connect for a long time. Now, I am plannig to renew the visa and come back to Malaysia by the end of this year.

    Are there any new regulations for travel that I should note?
    I understand I can simply book a ticket and come to Penang directly without issues. Is my understanding correct?

    Hello Emgs
    I am going to apply for the renewal of my visa. I am a PhD student at USM but now in my country Jordan.

    I saw different figures regarding the amount.

    The latest that I know is:
    686.40 for insurance
    198.40 for processing fees

    How much should I transfer to your account (visa renewal for 2023 + insurance)?

    Thank you!

    Reminder to colleagues in Malaysia:
    As of February 1st 2022, everyone of us should have a valid visa or a valid special pass in Malaysia. Enforcement action will apply on those who overstay their visas. If your visa or special pass will be expiring after Jan 31st, make sure your university has applied for a special pass.

    Tip about special pass and renewal timeline:
    I am sharing with you my experience so that it may help you reduce unnecessary delays.

    1. I arrived in Malaysia on 16 Dec with an expired visa but of course I had the TA and Sev both valid

    2. The passport control stamped my passport with a Special Pass. It allowed me to stay in Malaysia until January…[Read more]

      Hello, do you know if we need to get a booster before 14 days of travel or there’s no such restriction? Also, I’m fully vaccinated with Sinovac, my booster shot should be 1 dose or 2?

      • Profile picture of Mohammed Abu Risha (PhD student at USM)
        Mohammed Abu Risha (PhD student at USM) replied 3 years, 5 months ago

        The update did not pre-condition the booster on a waiting period. For our safety, however, we need to understand that the booster (according to medical research) needs at least seven days to start producing positive results.

    Mohammed Abu Risha (PhD student at USM) posted an update 3 years, 5 months ago

    Tip for colleagues:
    Many of eval applicants get confused about the time periods and the meaning of percentages. So, there are several phases in the application. If any missing document is requested in between, you need to add 3 to 5 working days on top of the general timeline.

    What do 5%, 15%, 35%, 60% and 70% mean for eval application?

      50% has multiple interpretations usually related to visa renewal.

      If the university chooses to have the student pass sticker at the state immigration department, 50% means the approval being given. Aftetwarda, there will be 90% for submitting the passport.

        Unlikely. Check with the embassy in your location though.

      I tried applying for quarantine in MySafeTravel but it only shows the option for 7 days quarantine, I have already gotten my booster shot. Are they fixing it to give the option of 5 days or am I doing something wrong?

    Some colleagues were asking about the types of visas and stamps that we usually get. Please see my stamps here:
    1. Single entry visa with Journey Performed stamped upon arrival
    2. Special pass upon arrival to stay for one month
    3. Another special pass obtained from the immigration department after my stay expired.

      May I know if it’s possible to pay using visa card or Master card from stores and other places if we don’t open a bank account in Malaysia?

      • Profile picture of Mohammed Abu Risha (PhD student at USM)
        Mohammed Abu Risha (PhD student at USM) replied 3 years, 5 months ago

        Absolutely yes. I buy through visa card and Mastercard. I also withdraw from ATMs at an exchange rate of 1 Rm = 0.17 JOD while in my country the rate is 1 Rm = 0.20 Atm is also cheaper at exchange rates than money changers.

    Reminder for existing students with expired passes:
    In order not to be in the uncomfortable situation that I had with my application delayed for additional three weeks, make sure before you submit your passport to the university that you have paid the medical insurance + renewal fees for every expired year. Also make sure that your visa…

    Got the renewed visa sticker finally today, just 24 hours before flying back to Jordan. If you have an expired visa for over one year and you intend to come to Malaysia, be very careful when determining the amounts to be paid and how you make the payment.

        Mohammed Abu Risha (PhD student at USM) replied 3 years, 5 months ago

        1. You have three years to renew: 2020, 2021 and 2022.
        2. Liaise with your university to (a) get a cover letter for the renewal from our school and send it to the visa department (b) contact teh visa department to ask about how much you need to pay.
        3. Send the payment in seperate receipts to emgs account. But, it is IMPORTANT you understand what…[Read more]

          Dear Risha ..
          whats that,
          i do not think so he need 3 years to renew.
          he just should apply for renew visa in emgs like every one.
          not need more money.
          after approval or waiting till 50% he can apply for TA.
          thats all
          thanks

    Updates on my renewal application:
    Paid the special pass fees today and sent the university a copy of my ticket on Friday. Wish me to get the pass. It is almost mission impossible! I lost three weeks of processing becasue of an issue that happened with the application.
