IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Malaysia’s launch of the Malaysia Expatriate Talent Service Centre (MYXpats Centre) to take over Employment Pass applications is expected soon.
What does the change mean? The government is expected to release an announcement on the official launch date. In the meantime, all Employment Pass and related applications will continue to be processed by the immigration office in Putrajaya until further notice.
Background: Currently, company registration and online submission of Employment Passes and related passes are handled by the Expatriate Services Division in Putrajaya. Once implemented, MYXpats Centre will handle Employment Pass submissions and related matters. ESD will continue to manage company registrations.
MYXpats Centre will be jointly run by the Immigration Department and Talent Corporation Malaysia, and falls under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
BAL Analysis: The government is expected to provide guidance to employers on the launch of MYXpats Centre and any new procedures for submitting Employment Pass applications. BAL is following these developments and will update clients when information is available.
