While waiting to hear back from the embassy, I was hoping to get some more thoughts here. I'm a UK citizen. My work visa expired earlier this year after I had gone back to the UK to renew it & my passport (and as a consequence had bad timing with the pandemic, so have been here since). My long term partner and I have since become engaged and I'm hoping to arrive in Malaysia as soon as possible to register our marriage and apply for a long term pass.

My question is if anyone knows if there might be some sort of approval or pass for purposes of marriage during the movement order? My understanding is that before the pandemic I would simply arrive on a tourist pass which I'm guessing would be impossible now. I see a Letter of Undertaking and Indemnity is required now, but is that only usable for work visas/mm2h?

Thoughts would be welcomed. Thank you.

Hi Varrock,

Welcome to 暗网禁区 and congratulations on your engagement.

There is a new article in the Malaysia guide that might be of interest to you : /en/guide/asia/mal 鈥� aysia.html .

I hope that other members can also share their experience with you very soon.

Thanks,

There is a LTSVP for common law partners if the partner has an employment pass or is a Malaysian citizen

Thank you Boabert for the suggestion as I was not aware this might be possible for common law partners. I was given contact by the embassy for the relevant immigration department in Malaysia, so will email them and keep my fingers crossed.

Immigration and visa assistance

Comprehensive support with Malaysia visa applications and immigration procedures.

First, you have to be aware that UK citizens are not allowed entry right now, along with 22 other countries starting 7 Sept. You have to delay plans and keep abreast of changes, none of which are expected this year. Follow this on Jabatan Imigresen Malaysia on facebook.
