Recently, we have received feedback related to the announcement made by the Immigration Department of Malaysia on 7 March 2019 on the review of Employment Pass Category III (EPIII) applications.

We wish to share that applications for Employment Pass Category III (EP III) will now be processed as normal and companies may proceed to apply via the ESD online system until further notice. Applications requesting for exemption of EPIII which were returned to a company will be processed accordingly as well.

Hence, companies are advised to re-submit their EPIII request via the ESD online system for further action and processing by Immigration Department of Malaysia.
