Malaysia implements online appeals for rejected work permit applications

Effective 2 May 2025, applicants may appeal rejected work permit applications through the Expatriate Services Division (ESD) online portal, instead of manually via email or at the MYXpats Centre. The online appeal facility is available for rejected Employment Pass (EP) and Professional Visit Pass (PVP) applications. Upon rejection, applications are directed to the “rejected bin,” where an “appeal” button is displayed, allowing users to submit an online appeal within six months from the rejection date. Once submitted, the appeal application is processed within 30 working days. Applicants are able to track the progress of their submissions through the ESD online portal, and automated notifications are sent to the company representatives listed in the portal.
