Dependent pass for newborn

You have 6 months in which to apply for the DP.

It means baby can't travel to home country / come back to Malaysia without having the Dependent Pass.

Just need a Passport to travel.  It would be best to get the DP immediately after birth if planning to travel outside Malaysia. If the child does not have a DP then will need a Tourist Visa.

Hi Gravitas,
Same case for us than original post. The passport took longer than expected therefore we will be too short in time to make the dependent pass for our baby before leaving the country for holidays in our home country.
We were told by visa agents and immigration officer at airports that we need to have dependent pass for newborn to leave the country. If not, we need to get the “special pass” in Putrajaya. Has anyone heard about this special pass and know the procedure ? We can not find any clear info.

Thanks in advance!

That's correct. You will need a visa to enter/exit the country. Special pass is a very simple process. You can get a form in immigration department at Putrajaya. Please take all documents (original and copied) along with you. Documents include passports (both parents and child) & birth certificate. You can take hospital's letter for reference as well. Fill up the form and you'll get 30 days special pass. I'll cost you around RM 100.

Many thanks for your answer.
We can get it on the same day than the application?
Do you know if we need to bring the baby as well ?
