Information needed on Malaysian Dependent Visa

Yes you can but will need to be in KL to have it endorsed into your passport https://esd.imi.gov.my/portal/pdf/TC-ES … r-2017.pdf

The only proviso is that it is a Professional Employment Pass either Category I or II.

Hi
I am currently on an EP Category II Visa in Malaysia. It just got renewed last week. Can I apply for dependent visa for my parents? Can the dependent visa be applied while they are in home country or do they need to be here in Malaysia? Which option is better, as we are from country that requires visa to enter Malaysia (only 30 days at a time).

It is not referred to as a DP, rather a Social Visit Pass. Process whilst outside Malaysia. Instructions can be found at this link https://esd.imi.gov.my/portal/pdf/TC-ES … r-2017.pdf

Thanks Gravitas! Really appreciate the info.

It appears that ESD site was not updated or there is conflicting info on site. As the site shows that DP can still be applied for parents. See link here:

Does Long Term Visit Pass allow the person to stay in Malaysia for the full period that visa is granted for or do they need to exit (example every 30 days like in the case of Multiple Entry Visa)?

This booklet dated September 2017 is the latest published guidelines since the change in salary for Category I. See Page 25 - the point of the SVP is so that the holder is exempt from having to exit based on Tourist Visa terms (e.g. 30 days). It works the same way as a DP - just each covering different categories of relations.
