English Summary
This document outlines Immigration Malaysia’s official requirements for the Malaysian International Passport—a mandatory travel document for Malaysian citizens. Key compliance points: only Malaysian citizens are eligible; validity is strictly 5 years; fees vary by applicant category (RM200 for adults aged 13–59, RM100 for seniors, children, students abroad, and Hajj pilgrims, free for registered OKU persons); first-time applicants must appear in person at Immigration Offices or Malaysian diplomatic missions; supporting documents differ by age, birthplace, and status (e.g., MyKad, birth certificate, custody affidavits, JPN-issued adoption certificates). Employers must verify employees’ citizenship and passport validity before international assignments, support documentation preparation for vulnerable groups (e.g., students, OKU staff), and ensure photo compliance to prevent application rejection. No grace period or retroactive extensions apply.
