Malaysian Immigration Special Pass Application for Overstay Regularization

If you've overstayed your visa in Malaysia and need to regularize your immigration status, this Special Pass Application Form helps you submit a complete and accurate application to the Immigration Department of Malaysia. Overstaying can have serious consequences, but applying for a Special Pass through proper channels can help resolve your situation legally and efficiently.

What is a Special Pass for Overstay Regularization?
