      If your visa or pass expires while you are in Malaysia and while the renewal is in progress, your university should apply for a special pass to avoid you being in a visa overstay situation.

      It usually takes up to 14 working days from the date it turned green. Contact the visa department at your university to see if they can talk to the immigration department and expedite your application.

    Guys, is there any other reason why it will turn yellow at 35%, Bedford asking of residence ?

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

      At 35, emgs is checking on the completion of the application and that it is up to its standards.

        Hi Mohammed Abu Risha
        For the accommodation can I just book a hotel room for few days (maybe a week) & submit it? Will it work that way? or are they expecting us to submit a tenancy agreement?

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

          Are you asking about home quarantine or declaration of accomodation?

          Passing 35 green= emgs supports your application and is in the process of submitting support letter to immigration.

      You’re welcome! And yes you must get your eVAL alongside your TA at 70%

    Also, the accommodation address documents, the EMGS already asked for it when I was at 20%. Will the immigration ask for it again?

    Does the eVAL come with TA ? or do I need to apply for it myself?

    My visa is at 35%. What happens after 35%? I’m from brunei and I don’t need a SEV

      Are you a new student? Check this post of Mohammed Abu Risha:
      https://connect.emgs.com.my/activity/p/508822/
      If it is at 35% and yellow, you are required to submit your accommodation address.
      If it’s green basically you have to wait until your visa is at 70% to get your eVAL and TA, then you can travel to Malaysia if you don’t need a SEV.

      No the other 30% is for your student pass getting attached into your passport, and this happens after traveling to Malaysia and submitting your passport to your institution to get your multiple entry visa sticker.

    There’s a new update on the EMGS Instagram. It says that if I have had the booster, it means that the quarantine period will down to 5 days ? Is it true ?

    Everyone, can I know exactly how long your VISA was at the immigration for ? Like how many days it was processing there ?

    • Profile picture of farhad waseel
      farhad waseel replied 3 years, 5 months ago

      1 week

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

      For me it was two weeks. My university sends the passport directly to the state immigration department in Penang. If your university chooses to send it to emgs then to the immigration department then you need to add another week.

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

        Just to follow up on this. If your special pass expires and you still have not got the sticker but need to go back to your country, send the flight details to your university and see if they can help expedite the process. But please do not use this route except in high emergencies.

    maria kong posted an update 3 years, 5 months ago

    If the documents are RE-submitted to the immigration. How long does it take ? Will it be 7-14 days again ? Or will it be faster ?

    • Profile picture of farhad waseel
      farhad waseel replied 3 years, 5 months ago

      Upto 7 working days

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

      A couple of days, usually 7 but if you have an emergency, please feel free to indicate that to your university and ask for help.
