Moving forward

With the launch of the MYXpats Centre, the Government made good its promise to ease the process of expatriate facilitation.

The MYXpats Centre’s integrated, streamlined data platform has resulted in more efficient processing of expatriate applications within the stated five-day timeframe.

That is, however, not the end of the road. Companies can expect further improvements moving forward. Looking ahead, the collaborative roles of the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Immigration Department and TalentCorp is set to grow in importance and relevance as we strive to meet the evolving foreign talent needs of employers in Malaysia.

To meet these new challenges, TalentCorp will be rolling out new services in order to achieve tighter integration of multiple government databases, such as the Companies Commission of Malaysia, Inland Revenue Board and those belonging to other approving agencies.

Through streamlined processing and the opening of additional centres in Johor and Penang, TalentCorp hopes to extend and expand the reach of MYXpats Centre’s services in the months and years to come.

“The opening of MYXpats Centre introduces a new level of enhanced immigration services. Through our oversight of the secure, government-run system, we will ensure that applications are processed in the most efficient manner, allowing us to deliver on the planned enhancement of immigration services started by the launch of the Expatriate Services Division (ESD) last year.”
