Malaysia: New Proof of Immigration Status Implemented

The Malaysian government has recently commenced issuing an Interim Endorsement Slip (IES) for holders of a long-term pass issued by the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation. The IES, issued in both English and Bahasa Malaysia, is a temporary replacement for long-term pass stickers. Holders must keep the IES flat, neither folded nor laminated, as proof of immigration status. If issued a new passport, they must carry both the old and the new passports to prove their status, as the IES will only reflect the passport tied to its approval.
