The Malaysian government announced the implementation of new online applications within the Expatriate Services Division (ESD) online system for certain services.
Key Points:
Additional Information: Officials also recently announced a revised fee structure that will take effect Sept. 1 for applications such as an employment pass, professional visit pass and dependent passes. Recently, the government has also implemented new measures to standardize existing procedures and consolidate online filing platforms. As BAL previously reported, Malaysian Digital Economy Corporation-registered companies are now required to use the Xpats Gateway online portal to file initial and renewal employment pass applications online.
BAL Analysis: The Malaysian government is expanding its online systems and is expected to require additional immigration-related applications to be filed online going forward. The expansion is designed to allow companies to submit more applications electronically for convenience and to improve processing times for applicants.
