Renewing Your Long Term Social Visit Pass in Malaysia (Spouse Visa) ONLINE *Updated Feb 2022*

**Note that Putrajaya may now only grant a 1 year renewal, so when applying online you may as well select your local state immigration office**

The current process (since 6th September 2021) is:

- For passes that have not yet expired: renewal must be made online when your current pass has less than 3 months before it expires. See below for the steps to follow.

- For passes that have already expired: you will need to make an appointment to visit Immigration (make an appointment at https://www.imi.gov.my/)

The online process is as follows:

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)". and "Type of Registration" are for the Malaysian spouse's information, the rest of the information is for the foreign spouse

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


Documents needed for online renewal:

1) Statutory Declaration that the marriage is still subsisting 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, we did ours elsewhere for RM4

2) Form Imm.38

3) Form Imm.55

4) Marriage Certificate

5) Malaysian Spouse IC

6) Applicant's Passport

7) Current LTSVP

For Putrajaya get the forms from Immigration or from this link

For Jalan Duta get the forms from Immigration.

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 ‘Kupitan Passport / social visit pass collection’ or ‘Kupitan 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)

- Marriage Certificate

- Applicant's Passport

- Malaysian Spouse IC

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 3 months of utility bills in case you are asked for them.

Notes for those collecting from Putrajaya:

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

The queue for LTSVP is not at the main entrance, but at the rear of the building, opposite Suruhanjaya Tenaga.

Take the escalators up to Level 3 to collect a queue number and then wait until you are called. We started queuing at 730am (for an 8am appointment), the desks opened around 830am and we got our pass at 1015am
