Long Term Social Visit Pass

A Malaysian Long-Term Visa Pass (LTVP) is a renewable document that allows spouses or family members of Employment Pass (EP) holders to stay in Malaysia for over six months and up to five years. It is also known as a Malaysian Spouse Visa.

A foreigner may be awarded a Long Term Social Visit pass for a stay in Malaysia of no less than six months. Extensions of stay may be granted based on eligibility and the completion of specified conditions. Foreign husbands/wives of Malaysians may be given the Social Visit Pass for five years if all requirements are met. They also engage in any paid employment, commercial or professional occupation, without changing their Social Visit Pass to an Employment Pass or Visitor’s Pass (Temporary Employment).

The following people are eligible for a Long-Term Visa Pass (LTVP):

  • A foreign national who is married to a Malaysian citizen.
  • Foreign countries are seeking medical treatment in Malaysia.
  • Family members of foreign nationals with Employment Passes (EP), including:
  • Common-law spouse
  • Above the age of 21 children (unmarried)
  • Parents or in-laws

Family members of Employment Pass (EP) holders with LTVP credentials cannot work in Malaysia. To work in Malaysia, the visa holder must apply for a separate Employment Pass and follow the relevant processes.

Spouses of Malaysian nationals, on the other hand, do not need to convert their LTVP to an Employment Pass (EP). In this situation, the Malaysian Immigration Department will provide them with a free Endorsement to Work document in their passport.
