Who grants permission for entry to foreign spouses?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Malaysian Immigration Department grants entry permission to foreign spouses.

Foreign spouses from 23 countries, which are currently barred from entering Malaysia, can now enter the country to reunite with their Malaysian partners. This special exemption is granted by the Malaysian Immigration Department, provided that the applicants successfully apply through the My Travel Pass system and adhere to all stipulated standard operating procedures (SOPs), including bearing the full costs of their quarantine.
Application Process via My Travel Pass

To gain entry, foreign spouses must apply for and obtain explicit permission from the Malaysian Immigration Department. This application is to be submitted through the designated My Travel Pass portal. The process ensures that all individuals entering the country under this exemption are accounted for and have met the necessary prerequisites.
Compliance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

Beyond securing departmental approval, all foreign spouses entering under this provision are required to strictly comply with all established SOPs. A significant requirement is the full assumption of quarantine costs. This measure is part of the broader strategy to manage the risks associated with international travel and the ongoing pandemic.
Exemption for Barred Countries

This provision allows entry for citizens of 23 specific countries that have otherwise been restricted from entering Malaysia due to the prevailing Covid-19 situation in those nations. The exemption highlights a targeted approach to facilitate family reunification while maintaining necessary health and safety protocols. The list of these 23 countries was previously announced in September.
