📝 How to Apply
Initiate your application and upload documents
Complete the APU online application and include certified true copies of your academic qualifications with English translation where applicable. Provide copies of your English language test results and clearly indicate the programme you are applying for and the intake date. APU advises starting the application 6–8 weeks before the scheduled intake, since visa processing normally takes 3–4 weeks.
Receive the Letter of Offer and confirm your enrolment
If you meet the eligibility criteria, APU issues a Letter of Offer. To confirm enrolment and allow the university to submit your student visa application, you must pay the pre-arrival application processing fee of RM 3,600 together with the required documents. APU states that the fee includes visa-related processing and APU/APIIT processing, and notes that it is non-refundable once the offer has been accepted.
Student pass processing through EMGS
After APU receives your complete documents and the required application fees, your student pass application is submitted to EMGS. APU indicates this may take about 2–3 weeks once complete documents and payment are provided. You are advised to avoid entering Malaysia during visa processing to prevent delays.
Prepare for arrival and medical screening
Once your visa approval is received, follow APU’s arrival guidance for international students. APU states you must undergo medical screening at EMGS appointed clinics within 7 days of arrival and submit your medical check-up slip to the university. APU also indicates health insurance is compulsory for international students.
