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.
