PUTRAJAYA – The Immigration Department has decided to postpone the entry of all new and existing foreign students, including those who had received its approval, until December 31.

Immigration Director-General Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud said this postponement is made following the Higher Education Ministry’s decision to postpone physical registration and classes for the October intake.

“The department learnt that the ministry had negotiated with airlines regarding the rescheduling of flights for international students,” he said in a statement today.

On Friday, the ministry announced the postponement of physical registration for the October intake following concerns over the recent surge of Covid-19 cases in Malaysia. – Bernama, October 4, 2020
