Starting today, Malaysians have the option to apply for a 10-year passport online through the MyOnline Passport service, announced by the Immigration Department. This new online application choice expands upon the previously available five-year online option, allowing applicants to select between two validity periods. Previously, the 10-year version could only be obtained in person at an immigration office.
Immigration Director-General Datuk Zakaria Shaaban stated that the online service would be fully implemented once all passport-issuing offices in Malaysia and abroad were updated and the system confirmed stable. The Malaysian International Passport, redesigned on 30 June 2026, now offers the 10-year validity option for individuals aged 18 and above.
Priced at RM350, the 10-year passport shares the same security features as the five-year version, including a polycarbonate biodata page, laser engraving, and advanced anti-counterfeiting technologies. In August, the department temporarily halted the issuance of passports with validity periods longer than 10 years due to issues at airline check-in procedures abroad, but the suspension was lifted on 25 September, with normal operations confirmed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
