New Student Pass and Visa Endorsement
Your Student Pass approval is subject to your post arrival medical health check report. We will notify you via email or phone call should your report fail. Appealing of medical health check report is subject to the approval from the EMGS.
Note:
- You are NOT to arrange any travel arrangement during the endorsement process till you receive back your passport.
- You are responsible to perform the medical check-up and submit your passport within the stipulated time. If you don’t perform the tasks on time, it will cause insufficient time for EMGS to process your endorsement.
