Multiple-entry visas (MEVs) are available for foreign workers from Bangladesh effective today.
The home ministry said Bangladeshi workers already here with temporary work visit passes (PLKS) and single-entry visas will not need to apply for MEVs separately.
“The (MEV) facility will be coordinated by the immigration department at international entry points for valid PLKS holders. MEVs will be given as part of the process of extending one’s PLKS for the next year,” it said in a statement.
The ministry said this will allow it to strengthen the management of migrant worker traffic in and out of the country, and reduce the risk of immigration pass misuse.
“This will also reduce congestion for new visa applications at Malaysian missions abroad,” it said.
