The initiative brings together key stakeholders across ministries, enforcement agencies, and government sectors to deliver a seamless and welcoming arrival process.

As Malaysia continues to attract students from around the world, ISAC is expected to play a significant role in improving arrival efficiency, boosting student confidence, and creating positive first impressions of the country.
