MARA GrEP 2021: What should you do after receiving the Financial Affidavit (FA)

 "The great experience begins with one small step"

 

Alhamdulillah, on 21^st July 2021, I received a Financial Affidavit (FA) from MARA stating that they had agreed to sponsor my study. In return, I must submit a "COA/CAS" (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies) to MARA. The GREP team will then present my application in the committee meeting for the issuance of the Letter of Offer, Financial Statement, and Agreement Document. If you still do not have the CAS at this point, you must request it from your university so that MARA can proceed accordingly. In my case, however, I'm not concerned about CAS because I received it a week after receiving the university's unconditional offer.

 

Some applicants might not have submitted their IELTS or Unconditional offer to MARA during the application stage. So, you need to forward these documents as well so that MARA can proceed the necessary.

 

Meanwhile, I'll get my tuberculosis (TB) test with my husband and son. I called Gleneagles Kuala Lumpur to schedule an appointment, which will take place on August 5, 2021. Also, while waiting for the MARA agreement, I'm considering getting a medical check-up to save time when completing the agreement. What do you need to do the TB test? Please refer to the below picture and don't forget to bring the MARA-issued medical examination form.

What you should consider while waiting for the FS and agreement from MARA?

1. Received a Financial Affidavit (FA) from MARA
2. Submit COA/CAS to MARA
3. Completing medical check-up and tuberculosis (TB) test
4. Apply My Travel Pass (Applications for entry/exit Malaysia)
5. Register at E-vetting (Copy of this submission need to be included with Mara's agreement)
6. Apply for your visa.

Next, I'll write about completing the agreement.
