PMS Students - Travel Options

Hello all batchmates!

Ok, so for those who did not attend the Travel Agency briefing organized by SSD about a month or more ago, this post is just to provide you with the contact details of Mr. Hira, who manages MSL Travel Sdn. Bhd. They are a travel agency specializing in student travel / visas, and have worked with IMU for the past 15 years (and many cohorts & batches).

So if you don't have a travel agency to work with or are just clueless about the visa application process and what you need, etc etc, feel free to contact:

Mr. Hira (Manager)
MSL Travel Sdn. Bhd.
MSL Building
66, Jalan Putra
50350 KL

Phone: 03 - 4042 4722
Fax: 03 - 4043 3707
Email: hira@msltravel.com
Web: www.msltravel.com

He is very friendly and helpful, and has many valuable insights on the visa application processes for the different locations we are all headed to! :) He has also shared a few pointers regarding passport validity (please check it is valid for at least the next 3 - 4 years), availability of funding for your continued course of study, required health checkups, as well as flight options.

He also facilitates and helps out with visa applications FOC if you are booking your flight / travel options with his company. He strongly advises against online booking for connection flights as there will usually be problems with delays and baggage allowance -- which is different for students.

All the best!

Love, Jade

p.s. Kor woi & i will later put up something about the appeal process for those concerned.
