Do I need an interview to study in Malaysia? What are the application steps?

Malaysian education has both the rigor of the Commonwealth and its own characteristics, attracting many overseas students from China. So do you need an interview to study in Malaysia? What are the application steps? Let's go and have a look.

1. Do I need an interview to study in Malaysia?

Applying for a visa in Malaysia generally does not require an interview. The difference between student visas in Malaysia and other countries is that Malaysia varies according to the schools it applies for. Students applying for visas in public universities generally apply for visas according to the notice of the university they apply for, while overseas branches of private universities apply for visas according to the "counter-signing letter".

"Counter-signing letter" means that the inviter completes the visa approval certificate for the visitor in the exit-entry administration department of the visiting country and submits it to the embassy of the visiting country together with the applicant's passport, application form, photos and other materials. The embassy in China can apply for a visa on the applicant's passport only with the approval materials, and tourists do not need to apply to the domestic immigration department.

The specifications and forms of the counter-signature letter vary from country to country, but generally, as long as the counter-signature letter is obtained, it means that the entry approval is obtained, and it does not take long for the passport to be sent to the embassy of the destination country. You can enter the country by countersignature letter. The countries that implement the counter-signing letter mainly include Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea and Singapore.

Students studying in Malaysia can apply for a counter-signing letter for them after obtaining the admission notice from the school they apply for. It is suggested that the application materials should be submitted to the Malaysian Immigration Department for examination and approval. After the examination and approval, the international students will be granted a visa issuance permit issued by the Immigration Department, that is, a "counter-signing letter". Then prepare some materials according to the requirements of the Malaysian Embassy in China, and students can get visas in about 2 weeks. In this process, the visa office of the embassy is mainly responsible for issuing application forms, checking the identity of personnel, reviewing application materials and issuing visas. If there is no special reason, the embassy will complete the visa formalities for students with visas.
