TL;DR · 核心要点

马来西亚《1959/63年移民法》第66条要求西马及砂拉越公民进入沙巴州须持有有效通行证或居留许可,但符合条件的联邦公务员及其家属可申请免签章豁免 endorsement。该豁免以印章形式加注于马来西亚护照(PMA)或限制性旅行证件(DPT)上,由沙巴州移民局独家签发。关键合规点包括:仅限西马/砂拉越籍联邦部门派驻沙巴的公务人员及其配偶、18岁以下子女;需提交MyKad、调职函/婚姻/出生证明等文件;无申请费,10分钟内办结;有效期与旅行证件一致;离职或分居后须主动注销。对企业影响显著:未获豁免者将无法离境(IMM.114过期时)、影响沙巴永久居留(PR)申请,并构成移民法违规。

✅ 合规行动清单 · Compliance Checklist

  • 为派驻沙巴州的西马或砂拉越籍联邦公务员员工,在其马来西亚护照(PMA)或限制性旅行证件(DPT)上,向沙巴州移民局(Kota Kinabalu)申请第66条豁免印章。
  • 员工离职、调离沙巴或家属分居后7个工作日内,由雇主或本人向沙巴任一移民办公室办理豁免印章注销手续。
  • 将员工MyKad、调职函(Letter of Exchange)、婚姻证(配偶)及出生证(子女)原件归档备查,确保每份豁免申请材料完整可溯。
  • Apply for the Section 66 Exemption Endorsement stamp at the Sabah State Immigration Department (Kota Kinabalu) for all Peninsular Malaysian or Sarawakian federal civil servants deployed to Sabah — before commencement of duty.
  • Cancel the endorsement within 7 working days of employment termination, reassignment out of Sabah, or dependent separation — at any Sabah Immigration Office.
  • Maintain certified copies of applicant’s MyKad, official posting letter, marriage certificate (for spouses), and birth certificates (for children under 18) for internal HR audit and inspection readiness.

English Summary

Under Malaysia’s Immigration Act 1959/63, Section 66 restricts entry into Sabah for citizens from Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak, requiring a pass or permit—unless exempted. The Section 66 Exemption Endorsement is a mandatory stamp issued exclusively by the Sabah State Immigration Department for federal civil servants posted to Sabah and their dependents (spouses and children under 18). It is affixed to a valid Malaysian passport (PMA) or Restricted Travel Document (DPT), has no fee, and is processed within 10 minutes upon document submission. Validity aligns with the travel document. Failure to obtain or cancel it upon termination of service or separation leads to exit restrictions, PR application disqualification, and legal penalties under Section 66(1)(d). Foreign employers engaging Malaysian staff in Sabah must verify this endorsement before deployment and ensure timely cancellation upon contract end.

常见问题解答

哪些人必须申请沙巴第66条豁免印章?+
仅限西马或砂拉越籍的联邦政府公务员(如教育部、卫生部等派驻沙巴的职员),及其配偶和18岁以下子女。私营企业员工、州政府雇员、自由职业者均不适用,须另行申请Social Visit Pass(IMM.114)或长期居留许可。
没有豁免印章会有什么实际后果?+
IMM.114签证过期后将无法离境沙巴;须额外申请Exit Check Memo才能出境;未来申请沙巴永久居留(PR)会被拒,因PR核心条件是持有沙巴长期居留证;还可能被援引《移民法》第66(1)(d)条处罚。
豁免印章有效期多久?能否续期?+
有效期完全匹配所持护照(PMA)或限制性旅行证件(DPT)的有效期,到期自动失效。无需单独续期,但证件更新后须重新申请印章,否则视为无效。
申请需要多少时间?是否收费?+
材料齐全情况下现场办理,10分钟内完成,全程免费。但不包含护照/DPT本身申领时间(通常需5–10个工作日)。建议提前预约并核对文件清单,避免往返延误。
孩子满18岁后豁免还有效吗?+
无效。豁免仅适用于18周岁以下子女。子女年满18周岁当日即自动失效,须立即注销印章,并为其申请其他合法居留类别(如学生签、工作签或长期社交访问签)。
