Applicants need to book their appointment.  The Embassy's monthly capacity is 48 slots for short-stay (Schengen) visa applicants, 12 slots for long-stay visa and 12 slots for long-term residence permit applicants.

 

Long-term Visa

When lodging a long-term visa or residence permit application, the so-called territorial consular competence rule applies. Applicants therefore can submit their applications for visa ONLY in the country/territory of which they are nationals, which issued their travel document, or in which they reside legally on a long-term or permanent basis (see the above link for exemptions).

Foreign applicants have to be residing in Malaysia legally* and continously for at least two years (more than 731 days) already on a long-term visa (not on a single-entry visa or visas). The residence permit(s) proving applicant's stay in Malaysia need(s) to be in a form of a sticker in the applicant's passport only (no ePass extension) and its remaining validity has to exceed 90 days (necessary processing time for a long-term visa). This is a legal requirement pursuant to the §169g of the Aliens Code No. 326/1999 Coll.
* This requirement does not apply for citizens of Papua-New Guinea, Kiribati and Tuvalu.
