EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
Education institutions in Malaysia are permitted to organize directly/indirectly with insurance companies to offer Medical and Health Insurance to international students, provided such Medical Insurance meets the requirements set out by the MOHE. In this case, kindly contact the institution for details regarding the packages offered and insurance premiums applicable.
INSURANCE TOP-UP
Students are reminded that it is compulsory for them to have a valid medical insurance plan throughout the period of study. International students whose medical and health insurance cover period expires prior to the expiry of their existing student pass are required to top up/extend their insurance. This top up/extension should be sufficient to cover the period up to the expiry of their existing student pass or a maximum of 12 months from the insurance start date, whichever is lower.
