New Situation of Studying in Malaysia in June 20265438+0
Entry process
I. Currency exchange
You need to exchange cash before going abroad, and domestic banks will provide foreign exchange services. However, as an unconventional reserve, Malay currency may be short of cash, so you'd better make a phone call to confirm it before you go.
In addition to banks, there are also private exchange points, and there will also be exchange points in the airport. However, the exchange rate of general banks is the most cost-effective and the security is guaranteed. It is more cost-effective to exchange money at domestic banks. I suggest you change it earlier.
Second, confirm the quota.
When you go abroad for the first time, you usually bring a lot of things. When you pack your luggage, you'd better confirm the baggage allowance of your scheduled flight first, because if it exceeds the limit, you will have to pay extra.
This involves the problem of air ticket reservation. I suggest that you don't choose low-cost airlines, but choose guaranteed large flights, because the consignment will be larger and the process will be more standardized. Low-cost airlines have not checked in. Although the air ticket is cheap, the purchase amount will be very expensive.
Third, tidy up your backpack
The arrangement of luggage will be more complicated, because there must be a lot to prepare. Learn to choose when finishing, and avoid stepping on high-voltage lines. Don't enter the country with controversial things.
Of course, going abroad also requires special security checks, which will be stricter than ordinary security checks, as well as checking documents and accepting customs inquiries, which requires everyone to calmly respond.
Basic luggage includes two or three sets of seasonal clothes, plugs for conversion, conventional medicines, identity documents and other sundries.
Fourth, check the luggage.
When you arrive at the airport, you need to check in. The check-in office will scan your luggage. In order to avoid trouble, you need to distinguish between carry-on baggage and checked baggage. Things that can't be checked should be carried with you.
Immigration ordinance
1. Before entering the country, tourists must declare all dutiable or prohibited articles. The Customs has the right to require passengers to open their luggage and articles for inspection as needed, which is authorized by Article 103 of the Customs Law. There is no tariff on travel between East and West Malaysia. Labuan Island in Sabah and Langkawi Island in Kedah are duty-free zones. Except for imported rubber and petroleum products, there is no need to pay for other items.
2. Green and red channels. Red and green channel systems are used at some ports, especially airports. Those who don't carry any prohibited or dutiable articles go through the green channel and change to the red channel, and take the initiative to declare to the customs staff.
Matters needing attention
1. As long as I get my passport and visa, will I be able to enter Malaysia and start my study abroad?
-no! Even with passports and visas, Royal Malaysian Customs still has the right to refuse entry to foreign students, especially girls under the age of 35, to prevent them from engaging in special industries. Therefore, international students must ensure that they wear simple and generous clothes when entering the customs, and they should not be too exposed.
2. What are the requirements for checking documents and luggage at entry and exit? Those can be brought in duty-free
—— Valid certificates are the basis for customs clearance and admission, including: passport, visa, air ticket, admission notice, medical report, photo of certificate 10. The duty-free items that visa applicants are allowed to bring into the country include: 225g of tobacco (equivalent to 200 cigarettes, including cigars with the same weight), alcohol 1 liter, cosmetics (no more than 3 items), soap, toothpaste, new clothes (no more than 3 items), new shoes (no more than 1 pair), and portable electronic goods for health care and cleaning.
3. Will the school provide accommodation? What should I pay attention to when I check in?
Accommodation According to the situation of the school, most schools provide accommodation, and the prices are uneven. According to the actual situation, we should decide whether to live in school or outside. If you live off campus, find a place to live before coming to ensure safety. Please refer to the websites of agoda and airbnb for temporary accommodation.
4. What basic daily necessities do you need to bring? Do you need to bring a quilt?
-Malaysia's climate is suitable, but there is plenty of ultraviolet rays and rain in rainy season, so you need to bring sunscreen and umbrella; In addition, you don't need to bring too many daily necessities. Things in Malaysia are very cheap, so it is more suitable to buy them locally, and at the same time, it can avoid the burden of overweight luggage. In addition, flannel blankets or bedding with equal thickness can be used as quilts.
5. Can I still use calling cards and WeChat when I enter Malaysia?
—— Domestic calling cards can open international long-distance services, especially when you first enter the country, you must ensure that the phone is available to avoid losing contact; Wechat can be used as usual when there is a network.
6. Do I need to take my tuition and living expenses with me when I enter Malaysia? How to withdraw money after entry?
-In China, only the Bank of China can exchange Malaysian ringgit, but it is generally necessary to make an appointment with the bank outlets by telephone one day in advance. You need to bring at least 4,000 RMB equivalent cash for future reference when entering the country, but for safety reasons, it is not advisable to bring too much. You can withdraw money at the airport and locally, and different banks charge different fees. We recommend Huaxia Bank's Platinum Diamond Card and Longxing Wuzhou Card, and there is no handling fee for the first two transactions. In addition, you can also apply for a credit card for international students of China Merchants Bank, and the first four withdrawals per month are free.
7. Can I earn living expenses while studying in Malaysia?
Yes, but it is stipulated that the part-time work time should not exceed 20 hours per week. In addition, during the semester or public holidays, international students are not allowed to work more than 7 days. It is recommended that international students start working after the second year of undergraduate course. On the one hand, they are busy at first, on the other hand, English communication is more secure.
