UK Visa Fee for Malaysia 2026 — Official Home Office Rates
Malaysian passport holders applying for a UK visa in 2026 usually do so for stays over 6 months, study or work, since short visits are covered by the UK ETA scheme. Online applications are submitted through gov.uk and biometrics are taken at the VFS Global visa application centre in Kuala Lumpur (with occasional mobile clinics in Penang and Kota Kinabalu). Standard processing takes around 3 weeks, and Malaysian students are one of the largest ASEAN cohorts on the UK Student visa.
