The Malaysian government announced updated sample documents have been added in Expatriate Services Division (ESD) Online for Professional Visit Pass (PVP) applications.

Key Points:

  • Effective immediately, all PVP applications must follow these updated sample documents.
  • The government has updated the sample application letter, Personal Bond Ref. No. (P.L.N. 228/63) and Memorandum of Understanding to align with new requirements and ensure a more comprehensive sample is available for reference.

Additional Information: The government intends to improve services and streamline expatriate application processes. These documents, along with an ESD Online Guidebook, are now available on ESD Online for reference. As BAL reported, the Malaysian government also recently announced efforts to improve modules and add new functions to the Integrated Foreign Workers Management System (ePPAx).
