The process is the same as before. You need the Visa With Reference from the Malaysian Consulate either in Mumbai, Chennai or Delhi.聽

The company should provide you with the visa approval letter and the VDR letter which they should get from the ESD system (issuance stage).



The EP is endorsed after arrival in Malalysia on the VDR.

Thank you so much Gravitas.
I have one more query.Since the Employment pass is showing issuance stage can the dependents also enter malaysia along with the main applicant or should the main applicant first get his ep endorsed in passport for the dependents to enter malaysia..

When will the dependent visa get through as the EP in issuance stage now.

I thought the dependents also need a VDR these days.

Check with the Malaysian consulate to be sure.

The lack of knowledge by the employer is worrying. Please be careful as there are scams reported in this forum about getting people to arrive on tourist visas, working illegally therefore, the comany never getting the EP after arrival, and also deducting 28% tax which they pocket (i.e. no EP no tax can be paid to LHDN). The sorry tale ends with deportation and a 5 year ban for the "employee".

Can u please brief about VDR for dependants..
Since I have no idea about it.
I have one query.
Can all three of us..my husband..son and myself enter malaysia together if VDR is obtained from Malaysia embassy in Chennai..
Or should my husband enter malaysia first with VDR and get his passport endorsed.
Can we enter malaysia together..
Please help.
Since husband visa in issuance stage how long does it take to get the approval letter from Malaysia for him
And then when will the dependents get the same.
My son's schooling is affected and we dependents want to enter malaysia asap.

Gravitas..thank u so much for your swift reply.
Kindly help me with how many days does it take for my husband to get the approval letter as already issuance stage..
And thereafter for dependents..my son and myself..
If letter is obtained for all 3of us can we enter together

Yes i understand about the scams..
Can u please help with these details for dependents entering together and processing time

The issance should take about 5 working days or less.

The Visa Approval Letter (VAL) and VDR letter is just for the EP holder.聽 I am a little worried that the employer may have only applied for the VAL and not the VDR Letter. But don't know all the details.

An application is required for each DP.

Just entering as tourists may not allow your son to be enrolled in school - but check with the school about that.

What should be聽 done if employer has applied only for VAL.. And not VDL..if so can VDL be applied now and how do we get it..
Or should we wait even more for applying that and get that letter or enter malaysia amd give passport for endorsement

The company has to apply for the VDR separately if they have not done so already. The employer usually asks which consulate the EP applicant would like to get the VDR from when the EP application is done (i.e. they submit both applications simultaneously).

There are slightly different systems if the EP is through MDEC. If you open the link I sent earlier there is some explanation about VDR collection process.

If the EP is through ESD then use the checker:聽

Please note my comment which I added above about whether or not being able to enrol in school here.

The ONLY place to give passport is in India for VDR and not to mail it to KL.

Separate VDR application can take up to another 20 working days.

Because of the requirements of the school to enrol your son, you may be better to wait until the DP applications are approved.

Check with the school

can u please tell me if we can fly to malaysia along my husband or should we wait until his EP is endorsed in passport

You can fly on tourist visa for 30 days if you want. It has nothing to do with your husband's VDR. That is just for him to get his EP after arriving.

If you do that make sure all the documents you need have been endorsed properly before you depart from India. There is a RM500 charge for 'journey performed' entries

I have suggested to contact the consulate in India for their guidance. This is because rules change and I think you may need a VDR as well now.

This is how you get your marriage certificate and birth certficates endorsed before you leave India.
