VISAS AND PERMISSIONS

BSKL is required to keep a copy of visas for all students and parents. In addition, non-resident visa types also need to have a Permit to Study stamp in their passports for each year of their education in Malaysia.

Permit to Study stamp

Employment Pass Holders (and their dependents), Resident Pass Holders (and their dependents), and Diplomatic Pass Holders (and their dependents) need to have a Permit to Study stamp in their visa.

Generally your employer, embassy, or visa agent will submit the application for a Permit to Study stamp to the Immigration Office. If you need an enrolment letter, please get in touch with our visa liaison.

Student pass visa types

Malaysia grants student passes to qualifying individuals so they can study at an international school. One guardian pass is allowed for each student pass holder. Dependent passes are also available for younger siblings who are not old enough to attend school.

Student pass application process

• Family enrols at BSKL by returning the declaration form and paying the enrolment fee.

• BSKL applies for a Letter of Support from the Ministry of Education (MOE) on behalf of the student and guardian.

  • We'll need copies of your passport for all family members, plus your local address in Malaysia.

  • MOE sends the letter back to the school and BSKL packages your letter with the additional enrolment information needed by the Immigration Office.

  • Families pick up their MOE Letter of Support and school documents to include with their application for the student pass.

• Families apply for a student pass via Malaysia’s Immigration Office. BSKL recommends families engage the services of a visa agent.

• The Immigration Office processes the student pass and guardian pass applications, and issues the visas and Permit to Study passes

Please contact our visa liaison who will guide you through the process.
