Immigration Department of Malaysia

Malaysia's general immigration authority, covering the wider range of visa, pass and permit categories beyond the specialized Employment Pass system. About the Immigration Department of Malaysia: The Immigration Department handles the broader spectrum of entry, visa and permit matters for Malaysia — social visit passes, student passes, and general work permits fall under this department, distinct from MYXpats' specific Employment Pass focus. Key Features: Visa and Pass Issuance: Covers the range of entry permissions Malaysia offers beyond the Employment Pass category. Student Passes: Processes visa matters for foreign students enrolled in Malaysian institutions. Social Visit Passes: Handles longer-stay visit passes for reasons like family or long-term travel. Border Control: Also oversees entry and exit control at Malaysia's borders. How to Get Started: Visit imi.gov.my to identify which pass or visa category applies to your situation. Note that Employment Pass matters specifically route through MYXpats rather than this general department. Gather the documents required for your specific category — they vary significantly. Submit your application through the appropriate channel, in person or online where supported. Important Notice: Not every foreigner-related matter goes through this department — Employment Pass applications specifically go through MYXpats, so confirm you're using the right channel before starting.
