Housing in Malaysia

Every university in Malaysia has its own accommodation system. For this you need to contact the university authorities. They will arrange your hostel.

It can be fixed within about 8-10 thousand rupees. What the rent will be depends on the area, the type of accommodation (student hall, off-campus apartment, one-story house, two-story house, etc.), the amenities in the house, and of course the number of people living together.

Part time job opportunities and cost of living

Part time job is available for more than 7 days off during studies, which is 20 hours a week. Apart from this, the authorities must apply for part-time work. And you need to have a student pass to work. There are opportunities to work in mini markets, restaurants, hotels, cafes and petrol pumps.

But you can earn very little income by working here. It will not be possible to pay tuition fees with this money.

Malaysia is now a center of increased interest for Bangladeshi students as the cost of living and dining in Malaysia is relatively low compared to the modern countries of the world.

You need to spend 500-600 ringgit monthly for living expenses. This means you can cover monthly accommodation and travel to the university. But the monthly cost depends on the individual. This cost may increase or decrease according to your living expenses.

Permanent residence in Malaysia

Employment Pass will be required to work in Malaysia after graduation. To get this pass you need two years contract paper and annual salary should be 1205 USD. And for permanent PR you need to stay for 5 consecutive years.

But why late? Get ready today and make your own application.
