In the first half of 2025, the Malaysian Embassy in Ashgabat approved 350 student visa applications for Turkmen students. This will allow them to begin their studies at higher education institutions in Malaysia.

On August 13, an informational briefing was held at the Ish Nokady coworking center, organized by the Malaysian Embassy in collaboration with Future Ed Services and supported by Education Malaysia. The event welcomed students who received their visas along with their parents.

Attendees were introduced to Malaysian history, culture, traditions, and practical aspects of living in the country. They also received guidance on adapting to a new academic environment abroad.

The Ambassador of Malaysia to Turkmenistan, Mohd Suhaimi bin Ahmad Tajuddin, congratulated the students on their successful admission and highlighted Malaysia’s reputation as a hub for high-quality and affordable education.

During the session, Turkmen alumni who had studied in Malaysia shared their experiences, academic insights, and advice on cultural adaptation.

The embassy also emphasized the availability of direct flights between Ashgabat and Kuala Lumpur, as well as the visa-free entry system, which makes travel easier for students and their families. The diplomatic mission reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Turkmen students throughout their studies and strengthening educational ties between the two nations.
