I still haven’t had a chance to submit the citizenship application. How can my children stay legally in Malaysia for now?

For children below 7 years old, they can use the Long-term Social Visit Pass (LTSVP). For children above 7 years old who are starting school, they need to obtain a student pass. However, according to the recent update by Immigration Wangsa Maju who responsible for student pass matters in Selangor, it has confirmed that LTSVP can be renewed up to 18 years old, allowing it to be used for school attendance as well. Nonetheless, they also mentioned that this depends on the school’s discretion. Different states may have different practices, so please check with your state immigration office for clarification.
