PUTRAJAYA – The Immigration Department has extended the application period for Special Pass by foreigners who are stranded or have over-stayed in Malaysia due to the implementation of the movement control order.

Immigration Director-General Datuk Seri Khairul Dzaimee Daud said the Special Pass application involves foreigners holding Social Visit Pass (PLS) and Long-Term PLS who were stranded or have over-stayed since February 1, 2020.

“For PLS holders, the application for the Special Pass has been extended until January 31, while for Long-Term PLS holders, the application is extended until June 30.

“The application for the Special Pass and renewal of the Long-Term PLS can be done at the Visa, Pass and Permit Division counters at all the state immigration offices,” he said in a statement today.

Khairul said the renewal of the Long-Term PLS for spouses of Malaysian citizens can be done online through the ePLSI system.
