Malaysia: How to Register at Immigration Portal ePLKS

Malaysia Immigration Department started to Digitalize its services with the Vision of Digital Malaysia,  MyEG was authorized to renew worker permits in 2013 by Immigration Malaysia, and MyEG was also appointed to register undocumented migrants in September 2014 although actual registration started a year later in September 2015. 

During the April 2015 parliament sitting, former deputy home minister Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar pledged that the government will set up its own online system to manage foreign workers' & Maid permits, instead of relying on MyEG.

When Dr Mahatir came to power again he criticized the way the previous Govt. handle Immigration Services and initiated reforms to provide direct services to Employers through the official website as well as over the counter. In the first phase, Immigration allows to renew the work permits through counter and later launch the official Immigration Online portal and started to provide work permits renewal, checkout memos, and special passes online under the ePLKS system. 

In this post, we will share the step-by-step guide to registering for the ePLKS portal, registration is free of cost but if you hired someone to do the job for you, then there may be service charges.
