PETALING JAYA: The home ministry has decided to introduce fixed validity periods of five to 10 years for expatriate passes as part of its new policies on the visas which come into effect on June 1.
The ministry said there was previously no fixed duration for expat passes, and that the new rule was to ensure that highly skilled expats would continue contributing to Malaysia’s development.
It said this would function as a guide for employers in planning for locals to eventually take over the jobs held by expat workers.
