The Malaysian Immigration Department has introduced a new system for applying for entry and exit permits for Malaysians and foreigners (WNA) known as MyTravelPass.

Director of the Malaysian Immigration Department, Datuk Khairul Dzaimee Daud in Putrajaya, on Thursday, said the new system could indirectly save the duration of applications compared to before.

Prior to this, the time required by his party to approve the application is between seven to 10 days.

"Previously, the application process using e-mail of 9,000 e-mails was received a day. For that reason we had to filter the accepted ones first because there are repeated applications, then only then can approve the related application," he said.

The official website is at www.imi.gov.my or https://mtp.imi.gov.my.

"This system is in line with the government's efforts to digitize and improve government services as announced by the Chief Secretary to the Government, Tan Sri Mohd Zuki Ali," he said.

Khairul Dzaimee said among the applications that can be submitted through this system include applications for entry through the Singapore Returning Green Line (RGL), applications for entry through Singapore Periodic Return Rules (PCA), and exit applications by Malaysians (which have considerable reasons).

In addition, applications for entry by foreigners or permanent residents (PR), applications for entry by employers for the category of foreign maids (PRA) and temporary work visit passes (PLKS) can also apply are foreigners in the category of citizen couple or resident couple permanent or children of citizens and permanent residents.

"In addition, foreigners in the category of expatriates and applications for entry by foreigners in the category of Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H)," he said. (Antaranews)
