Can I apply if I have study gaps? How many years of gap are accepted?
You can apply with study gaps, but Malaysia has become stricter in recent years, especially for eVisa applicants from Bangladesh.
-
- Short gaps (around 2–3 years) are normally fine.
- Longer gaps need a strong explanation, such as full-time work experience or other valid reasons with proof.
Can I transfer credits from Malaysia to another country?
Yes, many universities in Malaysia allow credit transfer.
-
- Some institutions even run formal “Degree Transfer Programmes” to make this easier.
- Universities like INTI and Taylor’s are well-known for such pathways.
Can I bring my spouse or parents as dependents on my student visa?
Yes, but dependent visas are allowed only for postgraduate students (Master’s and PhD).
Is halal food easily available in Malaysia?
Yes. Malaysia is a Muslim-majority country, and halal food is widely available everywhere:
