Foreigners who wish to apply for a permanent resident (PR) status in Malaysia should acquire an entry permit first, the Dewan Rakyat was told.
Deputy Home Minister Datuk Wira Abu Seman Yusop said the matter was clearly stipulated under Section 10 of the Immigration Act 1959/63.
“Only those who had acquired the entry permit are eligible to apply for the PR status and enable them to get the red-coloured identity card or MyPR,” he said.
Abu Seman said only six categories of applicants would be considered in the issuance of the entry permit as set out in the Immigration (Prohibition of Entry) Order 1963.
“The six categories are persons in possession of specialist or professional qualification, persons in possession of a certificate from the home minister certifying that their admission would be in the economic interest of Malaysia.
“Wives and children under six years of age of persons falling within the above categories, wives of citizens of Malaysia who have not been living separately from the husbands for a continuous period of five years.
“Children of citizens of Malaysia under six years of age, and those who are allowed by the home minister on special compassionate grounds,” he said.
25,000 PR applications in eight years
Abu Seman said the application for the entry permit could be submitted at any immigration office and the applicants must posses valid travel document or passport.
“However, the consideration and decision on the applications are the prerogative of the Immigration director-general.
“In the event that their application is rejected, they can file an appeal to the Home Minister within 30 days and the decision made by the minister is final,” he said.
Between 2001 and 2009, a total of 24,883 applications for PR status were received and solved, he said. (mostly rejected???)

February 1, 2012 at 10:57 am |
Sadly the question surrounding the eligibility and process before anyone can apply for permanent residency status in Malaysia is not something that has been carefully thought over neither is guarded by the rule of law. Malaysia with all its highly gifted and well educated populace is still the only country so far that I know of, that proudly classifies foreigners who are formally and legally married under Malaysian law’s to local as “social visitors”.
Preposterous and laughable as it may sound they usually cite their neighbors to the South “Singapore” which also uses the same phrase for foreigners married to Singaporean’s as their bench mark, forgetting that Singapore has categorized and streamlined their process so that every one is clear about their requirements. For foreigners married to Singaporean locals I think the normal period is between 3-5 years to get the PR. Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan, China, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, where they have thriving and progressive policies all have streamlined and clarified their policies.
Not that long ago I read in one of the local newspaper’s that it is easier for foreign women who are married to local men in Malaysia easily get a PR. However for foreign men who are married to local women it is another case entirely because according to the legislator who happens to be a prominent MAC party member, this unfair discrepancy is one of the many deterrent that is used in trying to protect local women from being exploited and used by foreign men who are only interested conning their local wives until they in get their Malaysian PR after which they will cheat the local women.
Now isn’t that a laughable and lame excuse? After all there are well documented cases of local men swindling their local female counterparts why has the government not passed a law to protect local women from predatory local men.
Personally I am not sure as to why anyone in their right mind will want to bother with getting a Malaysian PR after all there is really no benefit. A PR does not entitle you to automatically work in Malaysia because you still have to deal with the bias and institutionalized discrimination that is heavily entrenched in the psyche of the locals.
Chinese companies will only hire from their own race and then they hire a few Malays to make them qualify for Government grants and bank loans.
Government institutions will only hire “Bhumiputra’s” because of the need to bridge the divide with good intent and then you have the Indian’s and others that really have to go the extra mile to prove why they should be given any opportunity at all to survive in their country of citizenship. Its like dangling a bone to a pack of hungry Lions!
From time to time thought we can see redundant “Masaleh’s” who are generally brought in and paid astronomical salaries only to contribute nothing to improving Malaysia as a country. The “Masaleh’s” get all the attention and red carpet treatment and they walk away shaking their heads with their pockets overflowing with money while laughing at gullible locals.

Hi….Husband and I have been in Malaysia for 8 years under secondhome program. During 8 years, more than 4 years I worked as interpreter such as Eco-project between Malaysia Federal government, Penang State and Japan Ministry of Economy,Trade and Industry’s meetings. or personal basis, and company and company… but I was hired by Japanese company to do that.
We (husband and wife) are Japanese… can we apply PR?
Still we have secondhome visa more than 7 years….
My friend, an immegration officer gave me application form….she said “anyway you should apply to Putrajaya….”
Do we need some recommendation letters from officers who worked with me before? If so from whose letter is the best?
Thank you very much for your kind attention and help…..

Spouse visa wa 1992 kara apply ni shimas. Kyo no asa, when we went to renew her yearly spouse visa, Immigration no hito yuta – “oh you can apply for PR”. Demo, apply wa dekiru kedo, approve wa mada wakanai yo. Uchi no oksan wa mo give up kedo. Ato ni san nen gurai, kanojo wa Tokyo modorimas, datte. Then I will join her there. Kanojo wa, unten suru mo dekinai, watashi tachi wa kodomo mo inai, tomodachi mo daitai “cannot be trusted” here in Malaysia. Watashitachi wa 50 sai desyo. 50 sai wa, karada mada dekiru.

Moshi boku saki shinjatta, uchi no oksan, dare mo taskatte dekinai yo, Yoko-san. Dakara, watashitachi no kangae wa, Malaysian PR amari imi ga nai.
Moshi Yoko-san wa Malaysia PR ni hontoni hoshi, please go for it DEMO tabun 70% gurai wa approve dekinai desyo. Apply no tokini, sugoi fuben, and then final result wa “not approved”, sugoi kuyashii.
Singapore no PR wa moto “attractive” yo, Yoko-san. Penang may be beautiful but Singapore provides its residents with confirmed long term security.
Hope that helps.

I am a Singaporean Malay who speaks fluent Malay. I wish to apply for PR. Will I be considered as bumiputera? My parents are both Singaporeans who are living in Johor. They are working in Singapore because they are still trying to set up a business in Malaysia. We just want to leave Singapore for good. My husband is an Australia Muslim revert who is learning the Malay and Arabic language. Both of us would have at least a Bachelor of Education and 3 years experience from Australia by the time we decide to move permanently. What about business? What’s the law concerning a Singaporean setting up business in Malaysia particulalrly KL?

If you marry a Malaysian, you could apply 5 yr visa. (Whether they give or not depend on them) Exactly one day after 5 yr, U R would be qualified to take the PR form and apply. Insyallah U could get PR soooooooon after that.

i from myanmar i was in malaysia 6years i holding UNHCR.some one told me can apply PR if ur in malaysia more then 5 years!that’s true?how can i apply malaysia PR.and my baby was born in malaysia also baby can apply too?
July 27, 2012 at 2:59 am |
You R getting WRONG information. Officially not eligible. But for some we heard rumors that they jump the PR and directly get citizenship. I don’t know the truth. But UNHCR holders are legally never given PR.
July 28, 2012 at 6:22 am |
OK.thanks for ur information.!anyway how about my baby?she was born in malaysia! she have birth certificate of malaysia too. so how old she could apply it?
July 28, 2012 at 7:27 am |
No way. Except the present PM said when he was DPM, if illegal immigrant child become a doctor, he will give citizen. But U better try UNHCR, sure your child would become US or Ausi or EU citizen.
Please do not come and talk and compare with the Rohingyas in Myanmar which is different issue. I avoid discussing with grass root but try to educate the gov leaders and public. And to react with International Community.

Hi… I am so sorry to hear your story…. I am married to a Malaysian citizen too and my visa and the whole process of marriage took not more than 4 weeks. I guess the thing to keep in mind when you are doing official work is to know where to go and what is required to get it done. All the requirements and information is available online. I hope the best for you in future. Thanks

I am a singaporean malay with a malaysian pr. Unlike singapore which gave out PRs to foreigners like toilet papers, Malaysian PRs is a very priceless item to acquired. Only the lucky ones are able to get them. I acquired one after being rejected before and I did not gave up hope and kept on trying until i finally got one. Currently i am working in a multi national company in malaysia and drawing an excess of rm10000 per month salary and the best thing is i still get more than 2000 singapore dollars every month renting out my HDB apartment in Singapore. I have 5 properties in malaysia including to the 3 storey bungalow which i am staying in. Life would be much different had I stayed in Singapore.
So to make it short, don’t give up and keep on trying. Life is much better across the selat tebrau…

Actually those PhD students with STUDENT VISAS are normally not entitled BUT in Malaysia the law is flexable it depends on your contacts. I don’t have any now, you need to search a god father.
