Hello Kemi,
I have a few questions for you regarding this post.
– Please where can I get the Form IMM.47?
– How do I pay the visa application fees?
– Is there a structured visa application process like VFS (website, forms download, application fees payment…) for the Malaysian visa?
I’ve scoured through the internet and I’m yet to find anything meaningful.
Thanks in advance.
