TL;DR · 核心要点

马来西亚短期社交访问签证(STVP)是外国访客抵境时获发的免签类居留许可,适用于旅游、探亲、商务洽谈、投资考察等12类非就业活动。关键合规要求包括:须本人持有效护照及IMM.55表格现场申请;须提供返程机票或第三国签证及机票;延期仅限特殊情形(如疾病、战乱),需提交证明及确认返程票。企业若安排外籍人员赴马开展工厂检查、审计、签约或投资调研等活动,必须确保其持有有效STVP且停留期匹配行程;逾期滞留将导致罚款、遣返及未来入境限制。企业HR与法务须将STVP适用范围与工作签证严格区分,避免误用引发用工合规风险。

✅ 合规行动清单 · Compliance Checklist

  • 安排外籍人员赴马前,核验其护照有效期是否超6个月,并提前准备IMM.55表格及返程机票凭证
  • 确保外籍人员在马期间仅从事STVP列明的12类活动,严禁签署本地劳动合同或领取本地薪酬
  • 如因突发疾病需延期停留,须在到期前7日内向吉隆坡或槟城移民局提交医疗证明及返程机票原件
  • Verify passport validity (>6 months) and prepare Form IMM.55 + confirmed return ticket before arrival in Malaysia.
  • Restrict foreign visitors’ activities strictly to the 12 STVP-permitted purposes—no local employment, remuneration, or contractual hiring allowed.
  • Apply for STVP extension at Immigration Department headquarters (Kuala Lumpur) or Penang office no later than 7 days before expiry, with medical/official evidence and return ticket.

English Summary

The Short Term Social Visit Pass (STVP) is a visa-on-arrival pass issued by Immigration Malaysia for foreign nationals entering for non-employment purposes—including tourism, family visits, business discussions, factory inspections, auditing, investment surveys, and academic/sports activities. It is valid for up to 30 days (extendable only under exceptional circumstances like illness or war, with documented proof and confirmed return ticket). Applicants must apply in person with passport, Form IMM.55, and supporting documents. Foreign businesses sending staff to Malaysia for short-term commercial activities must ensure STVP eligibility—no work or remuneration may be performed. Misuse (e.g., conducting operational duties without a work pass) risks penalties, blacklisting, and future entry bans. Compliance falls under employer due diligence; no prior sponsorship or approval from MIDA or MOHR is required—but strict adherence to activity scope is mandatory.

常见问题解答

中国员工赴马参加展会并洽谈合作,需要申请工作签证吗?+
不需要。只要不签署雇佣合同、不在马领取薪资、不从事日常运营工作,仅参会、展台交流、商务洽谈,符合STVP适用范围,可凭护照落地获发30天短期社交访问签证。
STVP可以续签几次?每次最长多久?+
STVP原则上不可续签;仅在特殊情况下(如重病、自然灾害、本国战乱)可申请一次延期,通常不超过30天,须提供权威证明及返程机票,审批权在移民总监。
外籍高管来马考察设厂选址,能否用STVP?+
可以。‘考察投资机会/设立工厂’明确列入STVP允许活动清单,但不得同步开展注册公司、招聘员工或签署租赁协议等实质运营行为。
STVP持有人能否在马来西亚银行开户?+
可以,但需配合银行完成KYC流程,提供STVP入境章、护照、住址证明(如酒店预订单)及资金用途说明,部分银行可能要求附加邀请函。
企业未审核员工签证类型导致其持STVP从事审计工作,有何风险?+
属严重违规:移民局可能认定为‘非法工作’,处以最高RM10,000罚款、驱逐出境、5年内禁止入境;企业可能被列为高风险单位,影响未来外派审批。
