If you are applying to progress from Bachelor’s to Master’s Degree, you can remain in Malaysia during the processing of the application. However, if the Immigration Department requests an exit stamp you will be required to exit Malaysia. Kindly note that you need to hold a valid pass during the processing of your VAL application upon the cancellation of your current Student Pass. Your institution will assist you to apply for the Special Pass. The approval to issue the visa is solely at the discretion of the Immigration Department.
