My British husband succeeded in applying for the Long Term Social Visit Pass (LTSVP) also known as the Malaysian Spouse Visa, in the first attempt itself. We would like to share our experience and the steps which we took in obtaining the LTSVP and hopefully, this serves as some sort of a guide to those who are applying. We have to admit that this is not an easy process. They will be lots of hurdles, challenges, delays, frustrations, countless of trips to the Immigration departments (we went there at least once every fortnight to get updates and were in and out of different government offices every week or so!) and etc. However, keep calm and know that with determination, persistence and LOTS of PATIENCE, the approval will come!\u00a0<\/p><p>WHICH IMMIGRATION BRANCH OFFICE TO APPLY<\/p><p>The first\/new LTSVP application must be made in the Immigration state branch office in accordance with the address stated in the Malaysian Spouse NRIC. In our case, the address in my NRIC is in Klang and hence, the Immigration Branch Office that we went to for the LTSVP application is the Jabatan Imigresen Negeri Selangor in Bangunan PKNS, Shah Alam.\u00a0<\/p><p>WHAT HAPPENED IF THE SOCIAL PASS\/SPECIAL PASS OF THE FOREIGN SPOUSE EXPIRED BEFORE OR DURING THE LTSVP APPLICATION<\/p><p>The social pass\/special pass must be valid at the time of the submission of the LTSVP application. We had to renew and extend my husband\u2019s social pass and later on special pass several times during the process. We obtained the first extension from the Immigration Putrajaya Immigration Department on the grounds of \u201creferring to state Immigration for LTSVP process\u201d. The second extension was also obtained from the Putrajaya Immigration Department on the grounds of \u201cpending LTSVP application\u201d. The third extension was done in the Shah Alam immigration on the grounds of \u201cpending LTSVP decision\u201d. The third renewals and onwards required an appeal letter or \u201cSurat Rayuan\u201d. In our case, the immigration officer in the Shah Alam Immigration prepared the said Surat Rayuan for us and we just had to sign it accordingly. With that, we obtained the third extension without any difficulty. His third extension expired once again when the LTSVP was still pending approval. We checked with the immigration officer in the Shah Alam office to see if we require the fourth extension. According to the officer, if the pass expires when a LTSVP has been accepted for processing and is pending decision, no further extension is required. However, if the application comes back to the applicant requiring further information\/documents to support the application, then an extension of pass must be made.\u00a0<\/p><p>HOW LONG WAS THE LTSVP APPLICATION PROCESS?<\/p><p>We applied on 16 November 2021 and obtained approval on 11 February 2022. Our documents for submission were complete and in order and hence we were not called up in between to submit further information \/ documents in support of our application. If the immigration calls up for submission of further or additional information\/document, the process might be delayed and could not take longer.<\/p><p>HOW SOON CAN YOU APPLY FOR LTSVP?<\/p><p>In our case, we applied immediately right after our Registration of Marriage. Note that the 6 months waiting period is no longer applicable. We went to the Immigration Office in Shah Alam on the very same day with our ROM, right after the signing ceremony to get the list of documents required and then went back a week later with the complete documents for submissions.<\/p><p>FEES INVOLVED<\/p><p>Every extension of social visit pass\/special pass : RM100 LTSVP application fees : RM90 Security Bond : differs according to the country of the foreign spouse. For British foreign spouses, the security bond is RM1,500.00.<\/p><p>\ud83d\uddc2DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR THE LTSVP APPLICATION<\/p><p>\ud83d\uddc2 The list of documents required is different in every immigration branches and the list gets updated very frequently so make sure you get the latest list from the relevant immigration branch right before your application.
