August 13, 2024


By: Patricia Clarino

Effective August 16, 2024, the documentation requirements for applying for a Professional Visit Pass in Malaysia have been significantly reduced. The revised list of required documents now includes only passport, application letter, personal bond, security bond, letter of award/contract, and other supporting documents that demonstrate the planned activities in Malaysia.

Although the number of documents has been reduced, authorities may place increased emphasis on the content of the application letter, which should comprehensively detail the assignment’s purpose, work schedule, and duration. Please note that the authorities may request additional documents at any stage of the application process.
