PUTRAJAYA, Dec 2 — A new system called “[email protected]” (electronic temporary working permits) will take effect in January 2020 to help employers who are applying for Visitor’s Pass (Temporary Employment), the home minister announced today.

According to Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, this new system will ease the application process for employers who previously had to be present at the immigration counter.

“It will save application time as this process will not need the involvement of any middleman or vendor,” he told reporters after the launch of the [email protected] at the Immigration Day 2019 celebration here.
