How long will my Malaysia student visa take to process?
Processing a Malaysia student visa, from your initial application through to receiving your Student Pass, typically takes four to six weeks, including Visa Approval Letter processing. For an Indian student, the total fee comes to roughly MYR 2,127, covering application, medical screening, insurance, and related charges.
You should start your Malaysia student visa process as soon as you receive your admission acceptance letter, since the full approval timeline is not instant.

My Advice
Apply the moment you accept your admission offer rather than waiting, since the four to six week window leaves little room for error if your intake date is fixed.
