PUTRAJAYA: The immigration department has extended the application period for special passes for foreigners stranded here or who have overstayed due to the imposition of the movement control order.
Immigration director-general Khairul Dzaimee Daud said the Special Pass application involved foreigners holding social visit passes (PLS) and long-term PLS, who were stranded or had overstayed since Feb 1, 2020.
“For PLS holders, the application for the Special Pass has been extended until Jan 31. For long-term PLS holders, the application is extended until June 30.
“Applications for the Special Pass and renewal of the long-term PLS can be done at the visa, pass and permit division counters at state immigration offices,” he said in a statement today.
Khairul said the renewal of the long-term PLS for spouses of Malaysian citizens could also be done online through the ePLSI system.
