FOR MORE DETAILED STEPS ON HOW TO APPLY FOR EVAL PLEASE SEE HERE.

Before being eligible for applying for a student visa (Student Pass), students must apply for an Electronic Visa Approval Letter (eVAL) through EMGS (Education Malaysia Global Services) and pay the processing fee to EMGS. In addition, students need to pay a separate visa processing fee (270 MYR) to Universiti Putra Malaysia once they have arrived in Malaysia. You should start the eVAL application process right after you have received the Official Acceptance Letter (Offer Letter) from Universiti Putra Malaysia. The processing time for the eVAL application is about 3–6 weeks. After getting the EVAL approval, you should apply for the Single Entry Visa. You can apply for it at a Malaysian Embassy in any country except for Singapore. The actual Student Pass application will be taken care of at the end of your university registration process in Malaysia.

It is not recommended to arrive in Malaysia more than a few weeks before the orientation days. Please note that it is not possible to arrive in Malaysia before you have eVAL and SEV. As the semester dates may change and there might be a delay with your eVAL application, we recommend booking flights with flexible dates.
