Guide to Renewal of Long Term Social Visit Pass in Malaysia (Spouse Visa) ONLINE

This is the current process (since 6th September 2021):

For passes that have not yet expired renewal must be made online (you can renew it no more than 3 months before it expires). See below for the steps to follow.

1. Visit this link https://www.imi.gov.my/
2. Select "ePLSI " option
3. Register to use the system. Choose "SOCIAL VISIT PASS (SPOUSE OF MALAYSIAN CITIZEN)". Fill in the requested information; "Identification No (NRIC)" is for the Malaysian spouse's information, the rest (Spouse Full Name, Applicant Passport No, Applicant Nationality, Spouse Date Of Birth, Spouse Gender) is for the foreign spouse's information.
4. Log in, change password and start your application. You can make an application when your current pass has less than 3 months before it expires

For passes that have already expired (or have less than 14 days left) you will need to visit Immigration (some states need you to make an STO appointment at https://www.imi.gov.my/)

The online process is as follows:

Documents needed for online renewal:

• Statutory Declaration that the marriage is still valid with 1 photo each of the applicant & Malaysian spouse affixed to it. Both the applicant and the Malaysian spouse must sign the Statutory Declaration in front of a Commissioner for Oaths. You can use the Commissioner for Oaths at immigration or elsewhere.
• Form Imm.38
• Form Imm.55
• Marriage Certificate
• Malaysian Spouse IC (both sides)
• Applicant's Passport (bio page)
• Current LTSVP

Some of the forms are different depending on which office you are renewing at, so check you are using the correct ones

The documents that you upload must each be below 250kB in size. To reduce them you can use this online tool: https://www.ilovepdf.com/compress_pdf

Once your application has been submitted download and save a copy of the application confirmation as Immigration may ask to see it.

Approval and payment process:

The new online process is quick. My application was approved within 3 days and an appointment for collection made for a few days after that.

Once your application has been approved you will receive an email asking you to:

1. Make payment of the visa fees at https://imigresen-online.imi.gov.my/myimms/main?visapas
2. Make an appointment to collect your new pass. https://www.imi.gov.my/ .Choose the correct office, the ‘Kutipan Passport / social visit pass collection’ or ‘Kutipan Pelekat ePLSI’ option and your preferred time and date.

Collection of Pass:

Both the applicant and the Malaysian spouse must go to Immigration with all of the information listed below. Dress rules may be enforced e.g. no shorts/t-shirts/ slippers /short skirts. You may be turned away if you are not dressed correctly.

1) Print copies of the following and bring them with you:

• Confirmation of appointment date for visa collection
• Email of approval from Immigration
• Receipt for the payment
• Your application confirmation after you have submitted it online
• the last entry stamp into Malaysia from your passport

2) Bring the originals of the following:

• the documents that you submitted for your application (Statutory Declaration, Imm.38 & Imm.55)

If you have children you should also bring copies of their birth certificates/passport/IC.

Note: You may also want to bring a copy of foreign husband’s/wife’s birth certificate, the deeds/tenancy agreement for your house/apartment and a utility bill in case you are asked for them.

Notes for those collecting from Putrajaya:

There is a car park diagonally opposite the back of the Immigration building. 

The queue for LTSVP is at the back of the building, opposite Suruhanjaya Tenaga.

Take the escalators up to Level 3 to get a ticket. 

We started queuing at 730am, the desks opened at 830am and we got our pass at 1015am

Notes for those collecting from KL (Jalan Duta):

The gates open at 715am and there is a large car park at the rear. 

Join the queue at the upstairs office until the doors open at 730am.

We got our number at 8am and received the pass just after 930am
