Passport Renewal

Passport must have validity minimum eighteen (18) months.

It is advisable for a student to renew their passport in Malaysia; otherwise, the student might face issues of re-entering Malaysia if the passport is applied outside of Malaysia especially for the student who come from countries where a visa is required to enter Malaysia.

The process of getting a new passport may take a long period of time. In such cases, visit APU Immigration Services Office at least 14 working days before the expiry date to apply for a student visa. Bring a copy of your old passport and a letter from your embassy / high commissioner stating that they are processing your application for a new passport.

The previous passport would be canceled with the issuance of a new passport. The cancellation would result in the entire included visa to be canceled as well.

In the event when a student is allowed to re-enter Malaysia, he/she will be given a Social Visit Pass (SVP). The student will have to report back to the Immigration Department to convert the SVP to Student Pass. Journey Performed Visa Fee of RM 500.00 might be charged by Immigration.

Submit your new passport to the APU Immigration Services Office as soon as possible for the transfer endorsement process.
