Malaysia's ESD System Now Easier for Students and Foreign Workers
Published
The Malaysian Immigration Department has introduced new updates to the online Expatriate Services Division (ESD) system. These improvements aim to simplify the application process for foreigners who wish to study or work in Malaysia.
One of the key changes is the application process for 'Permission to Study'. Now, international students holding a valid work pass can apply for permission to pursue part-time studies more quickly through the portal. This step is expected to assist professionals who wish to enhance their academic skills while working.
Additionally, the system now allows foreign workers to apply for 'Permission to Work at a Second Location'. Previously, this process required a rather lengthy manual procedure. With this new update, employers can manage applications for their staff who need to work at different branches or locations more efficiently.
Authorities stated that this digitalization effort is part of a strategy to improve public service efficiency. With a more user-friendly system, the documentation process becomes more transparent and reduces waiting times for both companies and the individuals involved.
In conclusion, these ESD system improvements provide significant benefits to the expatriate community in Malaysia. Users are advised to visit the official ESD portal for further information regarding the latest requirements and step-by-step guides for these applications.
