Hi,
This is probably quite a complicated situation but I'm hoping someone might be able to help. I have been staying in Malaysia on a short term stay pass (UK citizen). It is due to expire soon and I am hoping to get a one month extension. I am looking to get an extension rather than a fresh 3 month pass as I have already done a couple of 'runs' to nearby countries.
I am looking for a one month as I expect to hear back from my MTEP application very soon. I am worried even if I send in my passport upon a successful MTEP application in the coming days, I might be technically overstaying if they process my passport over a period where my pass expires. I have also recently gotten engaged to my Malaysian partner, so we are also thinking of getting married within that one month period so I can apply got a long term pass.
So my question is will I be able to apply for a visa extension from within Malaysia? If so, should my reason be marriage? Or that I'm waiting on my MTEP?
Thoughts are appreciated. Cheers
