If I am a Malaysian student in UK on student visa, do I need a visa to go to the US?

Question

I plan to go to the US on holidays.

Answer 1

As a Malay student in the UK how can you afford to holiday,  in the US? You must be rich!  As a UK citizen I had to pay for my (mature) higher education through a series of loans. I was lucky enough to eat let alone holiday lol. Sorry I cannot A your Q, hopefully others can, but I wish you well x

Answer 2

Yes, and I gather that some Malaysians have something called British Overseas Citizenship - and the same would apply.

Answer 3

It doesn't matter where you are residing, if you hold a Malaysian passport and intend to enter the US you will need to have a valid visa or you will most likely be turned back at check in.

Answer 4

Yes you do need a visa.

Answer 5

yes, US looks towards the person's country of citizenship, rather than residence when it comes to entering their country. malaysians need visas to enter the US.

you can however apply for it at a consulate in UK. no need to go to malaysia for that.

Answer 6

yes
