    • Casmir, it depends on the school, some approved private schools do give admission up to 3times a year, but their fees are high, I will recommend government schools like Universiti Putra, Malaysia,(UPM), UKM, University Malayu and any other govt schools. After the admission letter has been given, it will take about 3months for EMGS to process your VDR, so, one cannot really tell exactly how long it will take, and for the cost, depending on your course of studies and the nature, is it a first degree or graduate/post graduate. I presently work with a visa agency here in Kuala Lumpur, you can send me an email: pstehisoriakhi@gmail.com
