ESD ONLINE ENHANCEMENT: PERMISSION TO STUDY AND PERMISSION TO WORK AT A SECOND LOCATION
22 October 2026
Dear Valued Clients,
Following our announcement on 15 August 2024 on the redeployment of Sub-Product services via ESD Online, additional enhancements have been implemented to further streamline the application process and better facilitate employers in meeting the needs of their expatriates.
Effective 1 November 2026, the following enhanced Sub-Product services will be available via ESD Online:
1. Permission to Study (PTS):
The PTS application feature has been enhanced for Employment Pass (EP) and Dependent Pass (DP) holders to submit their applications via the Sub-Product menu in ESD Online:
- EP holders: PTS applications, which previously needed to be submitted manually at ESD Putrajaya, may now be submitted online via the Sub-Product menu in ESD Online.
- DP holders: The online PTS application, previously available only to children of EP holders, has now been extended to spouses holding a DP. Eligible spouses may submit their PTS applications via the Sub-Product menu in ESD Online.
2. Permission to Work at a Second Location:
- Applications for Permission to Work at a Second Location, which previously needed to be submitted manually at ESD Putrajaya, may now be submitted online via the Sub-Product menu in ESD Online.
With the implementation of these enhancements, eligible applicants can now submit the above applications through the Sub-Product menu in ESD Online, where applicable.
Physical submissions for the above Sub-Products will no longer be accepted at the Immigration Department or MYXpats Centre counters.
