LTSVP And PR Translation Cost In Malaysia, Per Page
Most family papers are one or two pages, so the fee for a spouse visa or PR set stays small. A full set for both partners costs more. Below you see the starting estimate, what changes the total and the extras some Malaysian offices add. Your quote then lists every fee on its own line.
RM80
per page, starting price
RM80 per page is only a rough guide for one clear page, not your final price. A notary stamp, courier or rush service is added only when you ask.

Before you upload
EMGS And MOTAC Upload Checklist For Foreign Paper Translation
Before you upload, gather a handful of small details. They make your order quick and right the first time. Most delays at Malaysian counters start with a missing page or a name spelled two ways. With these ready, your quote comes back fast, usually with no extra questions from us.
Applying as a couple? Put both partners' papers into a single order. Every name then stays the same across the whole file.
Every Page, Front And Back
Registry seals and notes often sit on the back. Please photograph both sides of each paper.
Your Passport Name Page
We copy the exact letters of your name, so every paper in the file matches.
The Office And Its Checklist
Imigresen, JPN, EMGS, MDEC or MOTAC. A photo of the checklist helps most.
English, Malay Or Both
Ask your JPN branch which language it reads. We can prepare both versions.
Your Pass Expiry Or Appointment
Tell us the real date. Short certificates can often be done the same day.
PDF Or Printed Copy
A PDF by email is included. Say if the counter also wants paper by courier.
Avoid a second trip
LTSVP Delays Caused By Small Foreign Paper Translation Slips
Most returned files in Malaysia are not about big problems. They come from small slips, like a missing back page or a name spelled two ways. These are the reasons we see most often when spouse visa, PR and JPN papers come back. Each one is easy to stop before you submit anything.
-
Name Spelled Unlike The Passport
Your home paper may spell your name another way. The officer cannot match it to your passport and asks for proof.
We follow your passport letters and keep them the same on every paper.
-
Back Page Or Stamp Left Out
Registry seals and notes on the back are part of the record. A part copy is often returned.
We translate every page, seal and note, and mark where each one sits.
-
Doing It Yourself Or By App
Officers want an independent translator with a signed statement. Your own or a machine copy is usually refused.
A trained translator does the work. A second linguist then checks it.
-
Wrong Language For The Branch
Some JPN branches prefer Malay. An English-only copy can mean a second visit.
We ask which branch you use and offer Malay, English or both.
-
Statement Missing Contact Details
EMGS checks for the date, signature and contact details. One gap can hold up the student pass.
Our statement page always shows all of them, with our company chop.
-
Skipping The Embassy Step
Some Imigresen and MM2H files need an embassy or Foreign Ministry check. Without it, the file can stall.
We tell you about that step before you pay, so you can plan the time.
Have a letter from your officer? Send us a photo. We read the exact words before we quote.

Questions newcomers ask
JPN And EMGS Translation Answers For Newcomers In Malaysia
Still not sure?
Send your question with the quote form. A translator replies, not a bot.
Ask your question
Will Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia Read A Translation Made By A Private Company For My Spouse Visa?
Usually yes, if it is complete, signed and in Malay or English. Some family categories also ask for embassy and Foreign Ministry confirmation. Send us your checklist, and we tell you which extra step applies before you pay.
My JIM Officer Wants A Translator Certified By The Malaysian Government For PR. Can You Meet That?
Malaysia has no single public list of translators for PR papers. Our copy shows the translator's name, signature, our company chop and contact details. If your officer names ITBM or a court translator, please tell us, and we will say honestly if that rules us out.
Which Language Should My Papers From Home Be In For The JPN Counter, Bahasa Melayu Or English?
Many JPN branches accept English, but some prefer Malay. Please ask your branch before you order. We can prepare one version or both, with the same name spelling.
Is A Signed Company Translation Enough For My EMGS Student Pass, Or Do I Need More Stamps?
EMGS asks for an accuracy line, the date, the translator's name and signature, and contact details. Our translation carries all of these. Extra stamps are usually not needed, but check your EMGS portal list to be sure.
My MM2H Renewal Asks For A Translated And Authenticated Divorce Paper. What Part Do You Do For Malaysia?
We translate the paper into English and can add a notary stamp. MOTAC's checklist says a Malaysian mission or the Foreign Ministry then certifies it. We explain that step clearly, but we do not issue the ministry stamp ourselves.
I Am Outside Malaysia Right Now. Can I Send Scans Of My Papers For JPN Or Imigresen?
Yes, a clear scan or phone photo is enough for the translation. You get the signed PDF by email wherever you are. Bring your originals to the counter, because JPN and Imigresen often ask to see them.
For A Guardian Visa At Imigresen Malaysia, Can You Translate Only The Summary Lines Of My Bank Statement?
Yes, if your office accepts it. We cover the bank's name, the account holder, the account number and each month's totals. Other lines are marked as not translated, so the officer knows nothing is hidden.
The Malaysian Embassy Wants Proof That My Marriage Papers Were Done By A Licensed Translator. What Proof Do You Give?
Each copy carries a signed statement with the translator's name, the date and our company chop. Our contact details let the office check us directly. If the embassy names a specific licence, show us its wording before you order.
Do You Give A Lower Page Rate For A Large DE Rantau File Going To MDEC In Malaysia?
Yes, bigger sets often get a better rate per page. Send all your files together, and we quote one total. PDFs by email are included, so you pay nothing for delivery.
My Malaysian Husband Speaks My Language. Can He Write The LTSVP Translation For Imigresen?
It is not a good idea. Imigresen officers expect an independent translator who signs a statement. A copy made by you or your spouse is often sent back, which costs you time.
