According to the announcement from Singapore High Commission in Malaysia,from 15th Dec.,2008,all visa applications will be outsourced and start to implement the Submission of Application for Visa Electronically(SAVE) and the High Commission will stop dealing with visa applications directly.

There are four official appointed travel agencies for processing the visa application:

• Global Holidays Sdn Bhd, 2nd Floor Wisma Cosway, Jalan Raja Chulan
• Look Asia Holidays Malaysia, Menara Melawangi, Pusat Perdagangan Amcorp, Jalan Persiaran Amcorp
• MP Travel, Jalan Imbi
• Singapore Visa Application Centre, VFS (M’sia) Sdn Bhd, Amoda Building, Jalan Imbi

The charges of applying visa are as follows:

• Non-refundable visa processing fee RM71(US$20)
• service fee RM29(US$8)

I hope with implementation of SAVE,the processing period could be shorten and facilitate the application.For me,the benefits of new policy are:

1. Get transport easier-I could reach one of the agency by bus directly.No need to get a long travel by LRT+walk to visit the High Commission in KL.
2. Save time-I only need to submit documents to the agency and it will help me to do the rest of workings.
3. Less time limitation-previously the High Commission only processes visa application in the morning,but now it could be done during all official hours(normally 9am-5pm).

Thus,it seems to be a hassle-free policy,huh?I will try it next time when I have enough funds travelling to Singapore.
