Switch From Malaysia Student Visa

If you are currently on a Malaysia student visa (Student Pass) and wish to switch to a different visa category, such as a work visa, you may be able to do so under certain circumstances. However, the rules and requirements for switching visa categories can be complex and depend on various factors, including your employment status, qualifications, and visa history.

Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind if you are considering switching from a Malaysia student visa to a different visa category:

• Check the rules and requirements: You should carefully review the rules and requirements for the visa category you wish to switch to, as well as any restrictions or conditions that may apply.
• Consult with the relevant authorities: It’s a good idea to consult with the relevant authorities, such as the Malaysian Immigration Department or the Malaysian embassy or consulate in your home country, to determine the specific requirements and procedures for switching visa categories.
• Ensure you have a valid visa at all times: It’s important to ensure that you have a valid visa at all times during your stay in Malaysia to avoid any legal issues.
• Apply for the new visa before your current visa expires: If you plan to switch to a different visa category, you should apply for the new visa before your current visa (Student Pass) expires to avoid any disruption to your stay in Malaysia.
