Arrivals at KLIA - When arriving at the Immigration Counter, show the Immigration Officer your Student Pass Approval Letter from Sunway College. As a SETARA “Tier 5-Excellent” rated institution, Sunway students are normally exempt from having to wait for Sunway staff to meet/ escort them through the Immigration desk. This only applies to arrivals at the KLIA, and not the LCCT (Low Cost Carrier Terminal).

Arrivals at LCC Terminal - For students who arrive at LCC Terminal, please wait to meet with a Sunway College representative just BEFORE the Immigration Counter.

Note:

• The Sunway College representative will normally carry signage of Sunway College or a Sunway bag or wear a Sunway College t-shirt. The representative will then accompany the student to the Immigration Counter for clearance.
• Students are reminded that the LCCT Immigration Officer WILL NOT release students without a Sunway College representative present. Therefore, prior notification of arrival is important.
• Only students with Student Pass Approval Letters may be cleared from the airport, otherwise our staff will be unable to clear them.
