Immigration D-G: MyTravelPass now takes 14 days to process due to high number of applications

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 13 — The time taken to process a MyTravelPass application has to be increased to 14 days from seven due to the high number of applications received.

The MTP was introduced by the Immigration Department on October 7, 2020 whereby the applications to enter and exit this country for Malaysian citizens and foreign nationals must be made through the system. “The MTP enforcement has proven its effectiveness as up to August this year, the recorded imported positive cases of Covid-19 was less than 0.4 per cent from the total number of cases in Malaysia,” he said in a statement today.

“The number of applications processed during a set period is 13,000, managed by three task forces under the Immigration Department. The number has not gone down but has in fact, increased each day,” he said.
