Your visa or re entry permit or similar to what this stamp is referring to is in the page 33.

No need for appointment in Penang - only in KualaLumpur.

Go early, around 8am,as they only allow 100 applicants a day - but I went there last month and we were like 20 people total...

If you need last minute copies, there's a van parked in front of the consulate where you can copy or get photos.

I say this because in Penang is mandatory to have copy of the entry stamp into Malaysia in addition to the usual passport pages copies.

If you don't know, why do you feel the urge to comment, so putting noise and misinformation to the OP and other readers in the future? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

The OP has a Non-B. He applied (PAST) for a re-entry permit and ALREADY re-entered and get that stamp.

That stamp means that that person entered under a Non Inmigrant visa, but the granted date is according to the re-entry permit he has in his passport.

I assume he's on an extension of stay for studying, so yes, it's mandatory to go and cancel it BEFORE leaving.

Last time I did it, in Chiang Mai, it took me like 15 minutes in the middle of a busy morning. So it's hassle free.

It means Non Inmigrant - Re entry

Nothing special apart from update your TM30 in the first 24 hours

It could be that the applicant couldn't prove he/she actually studied - failing to pass the interview.

But just for information, the Language Institute in CMU is not part of the University; it's a separate Institute, with its own rules etc. Almost as a private school auspicied by CMU.

And when I asked there, I did not feel very confident about the quality as a proper school for ED visa, as the schedule was just 2 days a week and some free weeks every 2 months...

If I remember well, a SETV can be used within the next three months after being issued.

In CM you can file/update the TM30 on Saturday and Sunday (office open only for TM30 on weekends)
Álvaro **********
It depends on the office you should do it.

@Ulrik ********
thing is that they don't like the people living here under tourist visas or exemptions - but they like and push into the Elite Visa. It's not guaranteed that they let you in again, but at least I'd say you have a good card to play by showing them that you're on a new exemption only because your Elite is still processing.
