Attesting your documents in Bangladesh
- Apply online on MyGov (mygov.bd) using the service “certificate attestation for citizen going overseas”. You need your NID or online birth registration, and scans of your certificates.
- Ministry of Foreign Affairs attestation comes after, if your Malaysian university asks for it.
- Bengali-language documents need a certified English translation. Most board and university certificates are already in English.
Requirements differ by university, so we tell you exactly which documents to attest before you spend time and money on it.
Paying your fees from Bangladesh
To send tuition and living costs to Malaysia, open a student file at an authorised bank with your offer letter and passport. The bank then transfers your fees to the university under Bangladesh Bank rules. We help you prepare the documents your bank asks for.

Frequently asked questions
Do Bangladeshi students need a visa for Malaysia?
Yes. Bangladeshi passport holders need a visa. After your eVAL is approved, you apply for a single-entry visa on Malaysia’s official eVISA portal, then collect your Student Pass after arrival. Our visa application service handles this with you.
Can I apply with HSC results without IELTS?
Often yes. Some universities accept other proof of English or offer an English course before your programme. Send us your results on WhatsApp and we will check your options.
Can I work while studying in Malaysia?
Students can apply for permission to work part-time, up to 20 hours a week, at approved workplaces such as restaurants, hotels and campus jobs. Approval is at the discretion of the Immigration Department.
When should I apply?
Many private universities, including MAHSA University, have January, May and September intakes. Start at least three months before your intake to leave time for attestation, your student file and EMGS processing.
