Malaysia Introduces New Rules for Foreign Workers

Malaysian authorities have implemented a new photo verification procedure for specific Employment Pass and Dependant Pass applications processed via the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) and Expatriate Services Division (ESD) platforms. For applicants utilizing the MDEC system, their photographs must be authenticated through the eVISA portal.

This verification occurs in real-time, ensuring the photograph aligns with the applicant's passport and supporting documents, while also adhering to eVISA/MyVisa criteria. In case the photographs fail to comply with these standards, applicants may encounter delays in submitting their eVISA application. Such applications can only be submitted post-MDEC approval of the primary pass application.

The ESD has adopted a comparable verification method. Nonetheless, individuals and employers utilizing the ESD system can directly access the eVISA verification platform through a link embedded within the ESD portal, thereby simplifying the process.
