Malaysia has launched the world’s first International Student Arrival Centre (ISAC) at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1. The Ministry of Higher Education (MoHE), together with Education Malaysia Global Services (EMGS), introduced the dedicated facility to improve the arrival experience for international students.
Located at the country’s main international gateway, the centre provides structured support from the moment students land. Trained EMGS staff are available 24/7 to guide students through immigration procedures, offer arrival briefings, and provide information on transport to campuses. Students can also access early support services to help them settle smoothly into academic life. Similar services are available at KLIA Terminal 2.
