US Visa for Malaysians
Eligibility Requirements
In order to be eligible for a US visa, Malaysians must meet certain criteria. These include being able to demonstrate that they have strong ties to their home country, such as a job or family, and that they are not likely to overstay their visa. Applicants must also show that they have enough funds to cover their stay in the US.
Malaysians must also be able to prove that they are not inadmissible under US immigration law. This means that they do not have any criminal convictions or other issues that would make them ineligible for entry into the United States.
Documents Required
When applying for a US visa, Malaysians must submit several documents as part of their application. These include a valid passport, two recent passport-sized photographs, proof of financial support and evidence of ties to Malaysia such as employment or family records.
Applicants may also be asked to provide additional documents depending on the type of visa they are applying for. For example, those applying for a student visa may need to provide transcripts from their previous educational institutions.
Application Process
The first step in applying for a US visa is completing an online application form on USA ESTA. This form requires applicants to provide personal information such as name, date of birth and address as well as details about their travel plans.
Once the form has been submitted, applicants will need to attend an interview at the US Embassy or Consulate in Malaysia. During this interview, applicants will be asked questions about their background and travel plans and may be asked to provide additional documents if necessary.
Visa Fees
The cost of a US visa varies depending on the type of visa being applied for and can range from $160 – $200 USD per person. Applicants may also need to pay additional fees if they require expedited processing or if they are applying for multiple visas.
It is important to note that these fees are non-refundable even if an application is denied or withdrawn.
