IMPACT – MEDIUM
What is the change? Malaysian authorities are strictly enforcing policies that require foreigners to transfer their work or other passes into a new passport when their old passport has expired.
What does the change mean? Foreign employees have been prevented from leaving Malaysia if they have not completed the “transfer of endorsement” procedures.
Background: Authorities have periodically stepped up enforcement of the transfer of endorsement rules, increasing scrutiny of the issue in February of this year and in January 2015.
BAL Analysis: Foreign nationals are reminded that according to the rules, they are required to file for a transfer of endorsement as soon as they update from an old passport to a new one.
