We’ve included everything you need to ensure that you’re well prepared for the Malaysia visa process. Now all that’s left to do is book your ticket!
Nigerian passport holders do require a tourist visa for Malaysia. You will need to apply at the VFS Global (Malaysia Visa Application Centre) in Abuja. The processing time for visas generally takes at least six days.
Please check your eligibility before beginning the application process and submit your application well in advance of your flight departure. Once you have your visa, all that’s left to do is pack your bags!

Social Visit (Tourist Visa) – issued to those who wish to visit the country for a holiday, visit family, etc.
Business Visa – issued to those who intend to conduct business meetings, attend conferences and trade fairs, etc.

The above visas are valid for a maximum stay of up to 14 days. It is approved by the High Commission of Malaysia. An extension of the VWTR must be approved by the Director-General or Deputy Director-General of the Immigration of Malaysia.

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

Why is that Malaysia embassy based here in Nigeria is no longer granting visa to IGBO boys. From CONFIDENCE
Hi Confidence, we might not be in the best position to affirm this is correct or even say why. I’m not sure the embassy would deny anyone of a visa if they meet all requirements. You can contact the embassy to find out if this is really correct. 🙂
