IMMIGRATION REQUIREMENT CHANGE OF PASS CATEGORY

Dear Valued Clients

 

Greetings from Expats Service Centre!

 

The process implemented recently by the Malaysian Immigration Department require employers or companies to cancel the current Employment Pass when applying for a change of category (Category 1, 2, or 3).

 

However, effective from 1st January 2025, employers or companies will also need to submit a "change of category letter" at the approval stage of the application. Sample change of category letter can be downloaded at https://mdec.my/expats.

 

As such, we encourage the company to ensure the letter is attached upon submission of applications to ensure a smooth process for expatriate services.

Should you require more information and assistance, please contact us at 03-8315 3106/3157 or email us at [email protected].

 

 

Yours sincerely,

Expats Service Centre
