09 September 2025 Malaysia announces changes to the list of eligible positions for Professional Visit Pass applications On 1 September 2025, the Expatriate Services Division (ESD) updated and shortened the list of eligible positions for Professional Visit Pass (PVP) applications to ensure greater alignment between the list and applicants' actual scope of duties while on the PVP. The ESD online system now reflects a revised list of PVP positions, following approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Immigration Department of Malaysia. Employers that submit PVP applications after 1 September 2025 are required to select from the positions on the updated list. Additionally, applications submitted before 1 September 2025 (i.e., from mid-August onward) that have been returned by ESD need to be resubmitted using the revised list. A Tax Alert prepared by EY's People Advisory Services, and attached below, provides additional details. Document ID: 2025-1820 |
