Malaysian Permanent Residence: Immigration Points Calculator

Permit Masuk (PR) Points System Calculator

**Note: The Points System was introduced in March 2024 as part of the Permit Masuk application process for foreign spouses. As of September 2025, the Points System is no longer in use. However, Immigration appears to still use the same assessment criteria, so it remains worthwhile checking if you meet the previous minimum score of 40 points.**
